Natural Baked Pup Treats

The Easy Peasy Peanutty treats are one of Mugsy's favorites!  They are natural, healthy and free of other junk and preservatives that a lot of store bought treats are chocked full of. Num! Num!


Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup dry quinoa
  • 1 cup water 
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup natural crunchy peanut butter
  • unsalted peanuts to preference

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 355 degrees.
  2. Cook the dry quinoa in the water according to the cooking instructions on the quinoa package
  3. Let the cooked quinoa cool before mixing in eggs, peanut butter and unsalted peanuts
  4. Spread batter over the bottom of a cake pan making sure to press down while spreading.  If shaped treats are desired cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Then press batter into a cookie cutter on the parchment covered cookie sheet.  Shake cookie cutter gently while lifting.  Repeat until the sheet is full.
  5. Bake for 11 1/2 minutes
  6. Cool and serve as a delicious snack to your pup

Store either in the refrigerator or freezer.  The fun part is that you can add in chicken, berries or other natural foods your dog may have a taste for.  Enjoy!
