Peanut Butter Oatmeal Crunchies
By jen | September 8, 2009
Sorry, but this one is for the doggies. I recently adopted a sweet pit mix who was one day — ONE DAY!!– away from being euthanized at the shelter before being pulled out by a local rescue. Unbelievable, seeing what a loving, affectionate dog he is. He wins the hearts of everyone he meets, especially when he tries to climb into their laps! I see it as part of my duty as dogmama to this much misunderstood and vilified breed to not only make sure he gets proper training to become a model canine citizen, but to spoil him with homemade treats. He seems to like these biscuits, and the boyfriend thinks they’re OK, too!
Look at this face! Wouldn't you bake him biscuits?
Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup soybean flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
4 Tb peanut butter
1 Tb molasses
1 cup water
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, combine the flours and rolled oats. In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, molasses and water and stir until completely mixed. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry or crumbly, sprinkle additional water (but not too much; you want a drier dough). Gently knead the dough a few times to make sure the wet and dry ingredients are completely combined.
Roll out the dough to about 1/4″ thickness and use small cookie cutters to form the biscuits. If, like me, you want to make them on the smaller side for training purposes, use a metal teaspoon-sized measuring spoon as a cookie cutter to cut the dough into bite-size pieces.
Place the shapes on a cookie sheet (no need to grease the pan) and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuits are completely hard. Don’t forget to let them cool before giving them to your doggie (or partner)!

awesome!
I was lured here by your mini cinnamon rolls, but I am so stoked for a vegan doggie cookie recipe. I have 3 nice doggies and I am going to make these treats for them right away. These look really easy and yummy (for the dogs, I mean)
ps. your dog is very cute!
