Homemade Dog Treat: A Step-by-Step Guide to Baking Wholesome Pupcakes266

As a devoted dog lover, I am always looking for ways to spoil my furry companion. One of her favorite treats is a homemade dog biscuit, and it's time to share the recipe with fellow canine enthusiasts.

These dog-friendly biscuits, known as "窝头" in Chinese, are not only delicious but also easy to make. With a few simple ingredients and a bit of love, you can create a healthy and satisfying snack for your beloved pooch.

Ingredients*
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup oatmeal, ground
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
1/4 cup peanut butter (unsalted, no added sugar)
1/2 cup chicken or beef broth (low-sodium)
1 egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or 1 tablespoon chopped parsley for flavor

Instructions1.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.2.

In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, brown rice flour, and ground oatmeal.3.

In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, chicken/beef broth, egg, and vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth.4.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but not too wet.5.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes until it's smooth and elastic.6.

Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Use a cookie cutter or a knife to shape the dough into desired shapes (e.g., bones, hearts, circles).7.

Place the shaped dough on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly browned and firm to the touch.8.

Allow the biscuits to cool on a wire rack before serving them to your furry friend.

Tips*

For a softer biscuit, add a bit more pumpkin puree or broth to the dough.*

If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.*

You can add a variety of spices or herbs (e.g., cinnamon, parsley, oregano) to the dough for flavor.*

Store the biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Creating these dog-friendly treats is not only a rewarding experience but also a way to show your love and care for your canine companion. So, grab your baking supplies, put on your apron, and get ready to treat your furry friend to a delicious and healthy snack.
