Bake a healthy peanut butter treat your dog will love to munch. These biscuits are best kept in a cool, dry place, not in an airtight container or in the refrigerator. Moisture can cause them to mold, so a glass jar with the lid loose is recommended.

Note: These biscuits are not rock-hard; most small dogs and older dogs with sensitive teeth can eat them. However, if your pooch prefers them softer, you can cut the cooking time down or roll them to 1/4″ thick and bake them as specified above. The thicker biscuits will stay a little moist inside and will be softer.

Ingredients:

* 2 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
* 1/2 cup peanut butter
* 1/2 cup old fashioned oatmeal (not instant)
* 1/4 cup skim milk or water
* 3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth (or beef)
* 2 tsp. safflower oil

Materials:

* rolling pin
* mixer
* 2 cookie sheets
* non-stick cooking spray

Yield: About 1 pound of biscuits

Steps:

1. Mix all wet ingredients together thoroughly (skim milk, peanut butter, broth and safflower oil).

2. Add oatmeal until mixed through, then slowly add whole wheat flour until it is fully incorporated into the dough.

3. The dough should be moist, but not sticky. The type of peanut butter used can alter the texture of your dough. If your dough is too wet or sticky, slowly add small amounts of whole wheat flour until dough is the right consistency. If it is too dry, add more water or broth.

4. Roll half of the dough out to 1/8″ thick on a flat surface. Sprinkle whole wheat flour onto your workspace and rolling pin to keep dough from sticking.

5. Cut shapes out using the cookie cutter(s) of your choice.

6. Place cut pieces on cookie sheets lightly coated with non-stick cooking spray, grouping similar sized biscuits onto the same cookie sheet. The small ones will cook more quickly than the large ones and you can remove them first if necessary.

7. Bake at 325 degrees for about 45-50 minutes, checking every 15 minutes, rotating as necessary for even cooking. Check the bottom of the biscuits to make sure they are not overcooking or burning.

8. To be sure they are done, break one in half. The dough should be the same color all the way through. If the center of the biscuit looks dark and/or moist, they are not done. They should be thin, crispy and dry all the way through. Note: The biscuits can be removed before the inside is completely dry but they will not last as long in your biscuit jar.

9. When done, remove from cookie sheet and place on a cooling rack, on a towel or in a paper bag to cool
