Grrrrrrr-ateful : Dog biscuits with peanut butter

When something is as cute as an Ewok you know your in trouble.
And trouble needs to be fed.

This Thanksgiving I wanted to give a little hot sweet love to my constant companion, Lady Baby O'Gravy.
There is no one who appreciates my cooking more.

Dog biscuits are super easy to make and the ingredients are probably already staring at you in the face when you open the cabinet. Making your own alleviates any fear of processed poisons and with the addition of olive oil and other such add ins you can be sure your pooch is getting a dose of healthy fats ,vitamins and phytonutrients.

This recipe is not intended for everyone but it is a good jumping off point.
Keep your dogs specific nutritional profile in mind when baking and avoid thins known to be toxic or hard to digest for the breed.

Dog Biscuit with P.B.


  • 1 1/2 cup stock (I like chicken here but you can use beef or fish)
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3/4 cup oatmeal
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour




Mix the wet ingredients together and then add in the dry grains to make a dough.
Working in small batches, add extra flour as needed and roll out to about the thickness of your thumb from finger print to thumbnail - roughly under a 1/2 inch.
Cut out with a cookie cutter, jar lid or free form with a knife. Get creative.
Bake on an open cookies sheet , or the back or a rimmed cookies sheet
(simply place it upside down in the oven ) at 350 for about 30 minutes.

Store in sandwich baggies or a Tupperware container.

God, I could so see Fran making them for her dog (or ours, for that matter).

Kahlua recipe soon, have to call Mommom for it. I'm still hoarding a stash in my room.

Hope you're well!
