Dog Treats

I found this recipe while in search of raw dog food ideas and thought it sounded like a good wholesome treat for the little girl. I had to evolve the recipe a little because it seemed way to dry.

Here is the original recipe:

1 1/2 c. ripe mashed banannas

1/2 tsp. vanilla

3 c. oats

1/2 c. chopped peanuts

1/4 c. applesauce

Mix all ingredients, heat oven to 350* make "meatball" sized cookies and lightly flatten with a fork. Bake for 15-17 min.

I didn't have applesauce. But I had 2 (grown in washington) apples, with my food processor I smashed the apples into a slightly chunky applesauce ( I didn't want to get the blender dirty).  I used old fashioned oats and they were a little to dry for the lack of liquid ingredients in this recipe. So I used both apples, it ended up to be about a cup of applesauce. I also didn't have peanuts on hand, but almonds did the trick... after I ran them through the food processor to make them very tiny.

My Recipe:

1 1/2 c. ripe mashed bananas ( 2 bananas)

1/2 tsp. vanilla

3 c. old fashioned oats ( I will make this 2 1/2 c. the next time I make them)

1/4 c. finely chopped almonds

1 c. apples (food processed to slightly chunky, 2 apples)

Bake 350* for 15-17 min
