Kitchen Creations for My Doggie- Do

First, let me introduce you to Ellie.

This is the look she gives when she thinks she is in trouble or when she is not so amused to have her picture taken…

In fact, she was really bored and just about had enough of this picture thing…

Until I mentioned the magic word {TREAT}!

Then she decided to start talkin’

and I had 100% of her attention.

You see, my Mother gave me this book set for my birthday called Organic Dog Biscuit Cookbook from the Bubba Rose Biscuit Company.

I made some treats for Ellie on Saturday afternoon and oh man, did they smell yummy! So yummy, in fact they made house smell like bannana bread. Yum-o as Rachel Ray would say! I have made homemade doggie treats before, but never anything quite like this. They were such a hit with Ellie, I have decided to write a little something up for everyone to share with their little doggie-do.

Bannana B’ Oats
1 1/2 c. oat flour
1 1/2 c. brown rice flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. rolled oats {old- fashioned kind, not instant}
1/2 c. oat bran
1 egg
1/2 c. bannanas {mashed & pureed}
1/2 c. water

Preheat to 350. Combine all ingredients together and mix thoroughly. Roll into small balls {about 1″ in diameter} and place on an ungreased cookie sheet {they can be rather close together as they don’t spread while cooking}. Press each one down with your hand to flatten the cookies {I created a small well in the center and added a few Carob Chips to them- no, not chocolate chips, but the safe alternative for our doggies- Carob}.

Bake 18-22 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Store at room temperature in a loosely covered container, or they may be placed in the freezer.

While I was photographing the doggie do treats, I looked over and look who was watching my every move. She must have known that these were for her!

So, with the Ellie stamp of approval, please share these treats with your own doggie-do and order this book from the Bubba Rose Biscuit Company. Your Doggie-Do will thank you for it!

Enjoy!
