DIY Dog Treats: Live Stream Recipe & Making Process for Happy Pups!320

Hey everyone, and welcome to my channel! For all you fellow dog lovers out there, I'm thrilled to be hosting this live stream dedicated to making delicious and healthy DIY dog treats! I'm a huge advocate for homemade pet food, especially treats, because you know exactly what's going into them. No nasty fillers, artificial colors, or preservatives – just wholesome ingredients your furry friend will adore. Today, we're making peanut butter and banana dog biscuits, a recipe that's simple, quick, and incredibly popular with pups of all sizes and breeds. Get ready to get your paws dirty, or rather, your hands!

Before we dive into the recipe, let me just stress the importance of using dog-friendly ingredients. Chocolate, onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, xylitol (artificial sweetener), and macadamia nuts are all toxic to dogs and should absolutely be avoided. Always double-check the ingredients list of any human food before considering sharing it with your canine companion. If you’re unsure about a particular ingredient, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and leave it out.

Now, let's get started with our peanut butter and banana dog biscuits! For this recipe, you'll need:
1 cup whole wheat flour (you can substitute oat flour or a blend for variety)
½ cup rolled oats
½ cup peanut butter (xylitol-free, of course!)
1 ripe banana, mashed
¼ cup water (you might need slightly more or less depending on the consistency of your dough)
1 egg (optional, but adds binding and richness)

I'm using a large mixing bowl here, but any bowl will do as long as it's big enough to comfortably combine all your ingredients. First, I'm adding the flour and rolled oats. Give it a good mix to combine them evenly. Now, for the fun part – adding the peanut butter and mashed banana! This is where the smells start to get really enticing, even for us humans! The mixture should look somewhat crumbly at this point.

Now, we gradually add the water, mixing continuously. You want the dough to come together to form a soft, pliable ball – not too sticky, not too dry. If you find it's too dry, add a little more water, a tablespoon at a time. If it's too sticky, add a bit more flour. This is where experience comes in handy, but don't worry, you'll get the hang of it! If you are using an egg, this is the time to crack it in and mix well.

Once you have a nice, workable dough, it's time to roll it out. I'm using a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking. Roll it out to about ½ inch thickness. You can use a cookie cutter to create fun shapes, or simply use a knife to cut out squares or rectangles. Let your creativity run wild! The dogs will appreciate any shape you give them.

Now, we place the biscuits onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes for easy cleanup later. Pre-heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch. You can check for doneness by gently pressing on a biscuit – if it springs back, it’s ready.

Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before giving them to your furry friend. This helps prevent burning their mouths and ensures they’re nice and crispy. You can store the cooled biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage. Just remember to thaw them completely before serving.
