Transcript

0:00Hey, it's Nica. Today we're baking the treat my dog Biscuit would sell state secrets for — four ingredients, one bowl.

0:35Start with one cup of whole wheat flour and one cup of rolled oats. Whisk them so the oats are evenly distributed.

1:20Half a cup of peanut butter — and read your label, it must be xylitol-free, xylitol is genuinely toxic to dogs. One egg, then water a splash at a time.

3:05Roll it to about a quarter inch. I like little squares for training rewards — fast, no cutter needed.

4:30Eighteen minutes at 350. They firm up as they cool, so resist the urge to pull them early.

Tips

No cookie cutter? A pizza wheel and a ruler make clean training squares.
For senior dogs, add 2 tbsp water so the dough bakes softer.
Always introduce a new treat in small amounts and check with your vet for allergies.
