No-Bake Dog Treats: For People Too
August 29, 2012
When Birmingham Magazine asked me for some dog treats for my monthly food column, I wasn’t sure what to do. Honestly, this is not my area of expertise. I contacted our wonderful veterinarian, Andy, and I asked him to name a couple of ingredients which I could use to develop a cookie that would be good for dogs. I created these No-Bake Dog Treats which are great for people too. These came out fabulous, and my dog, Latte, loved every one of them. Note: For overweight dogs, these should be a “splurge” snack.
No-Bake Dog Treats
Prep:
15 minutes
Yield:
12 to 16 servings
Ingredients
1 cup oats
1/2 cup peanut or almond butter
1/3 cup honey

1/2 cup peanut or almond butter
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup granola

1. Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator and roll into 1-inch balls. Store in an airtight container between wax paper and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

HAHAHA Look at that pup! And how great that these are for human consumption too (it's the way it should be)

I don't have any dogs, but if I did, I know they'd love these treats!

Cute dog! What breed(s)? I have a similar looking "mystery" dog, except mine is chocolate colored. Can't wait to try your recipe.

Don't use granola with raisins, as they are toxic for dogs.

[...] first discovered this No Bake Peanut Butter Oat Dog Treats recipe on a blog called Ingredients, Inc. I’m sure there are plenty of variations but these are the best ones I’ve tasted [...]
