Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup peanut butter (xylitol-free)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 cup of rolled oats, and 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract.
- Combine the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of peanut butter, 1/4 cup of maple syrup or honey, and 1 egg until smooth.
- Combine everything: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. The dough should be firm yet pliable. If it’s too dry, add a splash of water or broth.
- Shape the treats: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Use a candy cane cookie cutter to cut out shapes or mold them by hand.
- Bake: Place the shaped treats on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool down: Allow the treats to cool before offering them to your pup.
- Store: Keep any extras in an airtight container for up to two weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
