I based the recipe on a recipe I have for human cookies, but tweaked it a little.
My doggie treats
1/4-1/2 cup of oat flour (or whole wheat-Sam's allergic to wheat)
1/2 cup natural peanut butter (I use crunchy)
1/2 cup natural unsweetened applesauce (I used a plastic single serving cup)
1 medium to large banana
2 1/2 cups oats
1-2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon flax meal (optional)
I used a food processor to do everything. I didn't have oat flour so I just put some rolled oats in my processor and ground it to a course flour. Whole wheat flour would work great, but Sam is allergic! I then added all of the wet ingredients except for the oil and pulsed until everything was combined. I then turned on the processor and added the oil and oats incrementally (I did the oats in 1/2 increments) and kept it going until everything was combined well. The mixture shouldn't be too dry or too sticky. I rolled into balls and baked at 350 for about 15 minutes or so.
This recipe can make quite a few treats depending on the size of the balls you roll. Guaranteed to make your puppy happy. :)

Oh man, our family dog would go nutz for that!
ooh! I've been meaning to make some homemade treats for our dog, Anna. I'm gonna try these!
and as a trade for this fab info, here's the caesar salad dressing that I've been raving about incessantly (it's so good, i can't rave enough, honestly...just went to a fave restaurant the other night and had their vegan variety, which I always considered top notch and something to aspire to...this one? SO. MUCH. BETTER!)
Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing
ceasar salad dressing
2-3 cloves garlic, pressed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 - 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon dijon mustard
1 Tablespoon vegannaise
1/3 cup olive oil
dash of vegetarian worcestershire sauce
a few sprinkles of kelp powder (this ingredient is considered optional in the original version, but I think it's key to getting that caesar flavor. perfection!)
whisk it all together and you'll have enough dressing to last a week's worth of single salads! don't forget to toss in you favorite additions. mine are chopped sun-dried tomatoes, avacado, hemp seeds, brussel sprouts, and Parma (or just some nutritional yeast). enjoy!
I think Vinnie would love those. If I get around to it tonight, I might have to make some to take to the greyhound walk tomorrow.
What a great doggie mommy you are!! I am totally impressed. Way to bake!
