Twisted Kitchens: Peanut Butter Puppy Treats

Don’t get too excited over this recipe, it’s totally for the dogs. No. Seriously. It’s for the dogs. But making these little treats for your puppy will make them love you for ever and ever and ever. I mean, really, Marley is following me around like crazy lately.

I’m not sure what possessed me to try and make treats for my dog, because really, it’s easy to just go to the store and grab a box of dog treats. I think it came about because my husband and I are trying to make some changes in our household, trying to eat better, go green-er, and you know…anything else that goes along with all that jazz. And I got to thinking…if we’re doing this for our family…well, our dog is a part of our family, so why shouldn’t she have some healthy treats and all?

These are super easy and don’t take a lot of time at all!

The music: I wasn’t listening to music while making these, I was listening to the audiobook for the novel Remembrance on my iPod. Go ahead and make fun that I’m so in love with this romance novel. I don’t care. It’s epic.

The drink: Coffee because my insomnia has been running rampant!

Here is what you’ll need:

1 ¼c. peanut butter (I used creamy but you can use chunky if that’s what you have)
1c. milk
2c. whole wheat flour
1T. baking powder

Forgive me, I forgot to take pictures of this process here. Combine the flour and baking powder in a bowl and set aside. In a larger bowl, combine the milk and peanut butter. Once the milk and peanut butter is thoroughly mixed, gradually stir in the dry mixture until it turns into dough consistency.

Dust your counter with a little bit of flour and roll the dough out. Personally, I think I made mine too thick, but whateves. And then…well…cut out. Now, I know mine look a little funny…but this poor poor wannabe chef here has no cookie cutters. None. Zip. Zero. I’d love a little doggy bone shaped one…just sayin’.
