How SWEET!!
For those of you who have been lucky enough to meet me wife Sharon, she is sweet. Not only is she my yoga teacher, decorator, and CPA, she is a published author.
Sharon was chosen as a contributor in the Main Street Vegan Academy Cookbook., which will feature her Ginger Yum Yums cookie recipe. Yummy and healthy! You can pre-order a copy of the cookbook here!
NOW, my recipe for Bobs Bones, is for our doggies, who love to snack (like I do). We want to keep them happy and healthy … like us! Try out the recipe below for your pups!
- 1 cup oats (old fashioned, 1-minute oats, or instant) , plus more if needed- see instructions
- 1/3 cup pumpkin pureé (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
-
Preheat your oven to 300F (150C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Add the oats to a food processor and grind until they reach a fine powder. Add in the pumpkin and peanut butter and blend until a sticky dough is formed.
-
Remove from the processor and roll out on a lightly floured surface. (I used brown rice flour because my dog is sensitive to wheat, but if yours is not you could use wheat flour, more ground oats, or another flour that you have on hand). Cut out cookies using a small cookie cutter of any shape, or alternatively just cut into squares with a knife.
-
Lay the treats on the prepared baking sheet and bake fo 25 to 30 minutes, until the treats are dry and hard. Let cool before giving to your pup and then store in an airtight container.
In good health,
Bob
