Multi Grain Peanut Butter Dog Treats

These multi grain peanut butter dog treats are the ultimate in crunchy, healthy deliciousness.

If you're looking for a hearty dog treat recipe that packs a powerful nutritional punch, this is it.

My dogs love treats of all kinds, they're not picky, but they especially love the crunchy ones. They're not tiny dogs so BIG crunchy goodies are even better and this recipe is one of their favorites especially when I use my large dog bone cookie cutter.

And it's not just the dogs that love these. I don't eat them (although I could if I wanted to, all ingredients are human-grade and delicious in their own right) but I know what goes into them, and every single ingredient is healthy and nutritious. For me, this is one of the best things about making dog treats at home. Peace of mind.

That, and happy dogs of course!

Ingredients List

• 2 cups whole-wheat flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup wheat germ
• 2 tbsp sunflower seeds (unsalted)
• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 tbsp whole flax seeds
• 1 tbsp ground flax seeds
• 1 tbs blackstrap molasses
• 1 tsp brewers yeast
• 1/4 tsp pink Himalayan salt
• 1 cup bone broth (I used chicken)

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350F
• Line baking tray with parchment or silicone baking mat
• Combine all dry ingredients (except salt) in large bowl
• Stir really well with wooden spoon to combine 
• Sprinkle salt over dry ingredients and stir in
• Add peanut butter, molasses and olive oil and stir into dry ingredients
• Stir until mixture looks like coarse breadcrumbs
• Add bone broth a little at a time, stirring well to mix
• Use your hands to form dough, it shouldn't be too sticky or too dry
• Add extra flour or water if needed to get the right consistency
• Divide dough in half (dough is fairly heavy-duty and this makes it easier to roll out)
• Place first piece on lightly floured surface 
• Use lightly floured rolling pin to roll dough out to 1/4" thickness
• Cut out desired treat shapes using cookie cutter
• Repeat rolling and cut-out with second half of dough 
• Bake at 350F for 25 - 30 minutes
• Remove from oven and allow to cool completely
• Treats can be stored in airtight container for up to two weeks in the refrigerator
  
  

Sometimes I brush egg white onto these treats before I put them in the oven, it gives them a shiny appearance when baked. My dogs don't care either way but I like to change things up now and then!

These multi grain and peanut butter dog treats smell delicious when they're in the oven, and to be honest even the raw dough smells good. If your dog is like mine, he'll be standing guard waiting for these beauties to be ready to eat.
