Buddy's treat recipe

[corgi-traveler]

A lot of friends have asked for this recipe, so I thought I'd share here.

I will often bake up a big batch of these before a big "dog" event like an obedience or herding trial and share with friends. Word apparently got around that Buddy has the best treats on the block!

Buddy's PB-Nanna treats

1 cup oat flour (I put regular quick oats in a coffee grinder on the espresso grind!)

1 cup rice flour -- easily found on the ethnic food aisle of most supermarkets

1 or 2 ripe bananas, mashed.

1/4 cup honey
2 eggs
peanut butter



Put all the dry ingredients in a bowl, add the honey, eggs, and bananas and stir to mix. Toss in the parsley. Add enough peanut butter so that it comes together into a dough. It will still be crumbly, and that's OK. Usually it takes between 1/2 to 2/3 of a cup, depends on several factors.

You can roll the dough out and cut shapes (we have a bone cookie cutter), or, especially for smaller dogs, you can take a handful of dough, roll it like a clay snake in your hands, and pinch off little disks.

Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes. The bite sized pieces will cook faster.

Cool, place in an airtight container, and enjoy. Wheat, soy, and corn free!

Note: It's a high calorie treat. Be careful not to allow your dog to over-indulge. The corgis (28 lbs) get one bone-sized biscuit between the THREE of them, no more than every couple of days!


1 fistful of parsley

I haven't. My herding instructor has. She said they needed some salt.

I enjoy watching other people's runs and visiting with friends too much at shows to be stuck in a vendor booth all day. I'll just keep paying for entries the old fashioned way... by cutting my own grocery bill, clothing allowance, etc, while my dogs live in the lap of luxury!

I hear you on that! :C

That's great that they are like a cookie. You must have nailed the recipe, so many homemade ones that I've found are real soft.

Thanks for posting the recipe. 2 dogs with allergies and organ problems I never can find any at the store that fit the bill for both of them. You homemade ones do! :C

Are they hard/crunchy cookies when done?

You should make them and sell them at the shows. Everyone is always looking for healthy treats. And it would help fund your entry fees!:W
