Many dogs have sensitivities to grains and are not able to enjoy many of the conventional treats that are produced with grains. This grain-free treat recipe from With the Grains is a great option for all dogs, even those without dietary restrictions.
​What You’ll Need:
Coconut Flour
1 1/2 cups
Organic Creamy Peanut Butter
1/2 cup
Organic Eggs
5 eggs
Coconut Oil
1/2 cup, melted
Organic Pumpkin Puree
1 cup + 2 tbsp
Organic Bacon
2 slices, cooked and chopped
​Baking Instructions:
​
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a mixing bowl combine all ingredients and form dough into a ball.
  3. Roll out dough in between two sheets of parchment paper.
  4. Gently use your desired cookie cutters to cut and lift cookies. Roll leftover dough into a ball, roll it out again and cut additional cookies. Repeat until all the dough has been used. Hint: You can bake the very last dough scraps as small round cookies so as not to waste dough. 
  5. Transfer to a lined baking sheet, and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cookies are crisp around the edges.

​Baking Instructions:
  1. Gather the ingredients and preheat your oven to 350° F. Ensure you have plenty of counter space to work on.
  2. Combine the flour, milk, and chicken in a large bowl and mash and mix them together. Add the water, oil, beaten egg, and catnip (if using). Stir well until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Form the dough into small dime-sized balls and place on a greased cookie sheet. Flatten the balls into discs with your hand or a spoon. You can adjust the size of the treats based on your cat’s size and needs.

  5. Cool the treats to room temperature and store in an airtight container or bag.
