Bacon Cheddar Dog Treats
Homemade dog treats using ingredients that your beloved pup will go crazy for!
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup applesauce, unsweetened
- 1 large egg
- 5 slices bacon, cooked equals about ¼ cup
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or oil the baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing, combine the whole wheat flour, old-fashioned oats, bacon and cheddar cheese.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the egg and applesauce.
- Add the applesauce mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine and until dough forms.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to create fun shapes, such as bones or paws. If you don’t have a dog-themed cutter, simply use an opening of a round glass or use a knife to cut out shapes. The dough will be sticky, therefore, add additional flour if needed so that the dough is workable but not stiff.
- Place treats on prepared baking sheet and place in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool thoroughly on a wire rack.
