Last week I tried this new dog treat recipe for my boys. Two ingredients and all organic. And the results were a HUGE success! I found the recipe here. It’s nice to come across another crazy dog Mom. I enjoy being able to make them something in the kitchen rather than purchasing something from the store with a lot of ingredients.
The recipe gives you the freedom to chose what flavor you want to make. My boys loves apples and bananas, so this was the first choice. I will be trying others. Each jar of baby food cost $1.29.
I picked up the Organic whole wheat flour at my favorite store for $1.50. I already had the cookie cutter in my stash, but was looking for something a bit smaller. Like bite size. Keep reading…
Another bonus for this recipe is that I’m only mixing two ingredients together. That’s it!
I gave the boys a little sample by letting them lick the lids. You will see that they were okay with the flavor.
I was thinking out loud on what I could use as a cookie cutter to make the treats smaller. Adam suggested the top of a pop bottle. It worked like a charm! I dipped the top in flour after every other impression.
The dough rolled out with a texture similar to pizza dough. I used a little extra flour on the counter just in case it started to stick. Next time I’ll know not to use so much.
Due to using a smaller cookie cutter I didn’t set the oven as high as the recipe called for because I didn’t want them to burn. For the bottle cap size I set my oven between 275-300. I baked them for about 10-12 minutes. Use your best judgement depending on the size of treat your making and how your oven works.
They couldn’t wait to try them. Actually as I type this post their supply is completely gone. I’ll be choosing another flavor for another batch.
The whole batch made 12 1/2 dozen and cost roughly $4.15. Your batch will vary depending of the size of cookie cutter you use.
Kinda looks like a made dog kibble (food).
So, what flavor would your beloved dogs like? I’m thinking sweet potato might be next.

I use apples and chicken flavor!! (Home pureed, but its what I had on hand!)
My three boys love apples! Such an easy recipe loaded with so many possibilities.
we are doing an adoption event for our rescue Haven On Earth, so I am so grateful for this recipe to use as a little bag of treats to sell to raise much needed funds to keep us going! Any new flavors ???????
Sweet potato! My boys loved this flavor. I find myself in the baby food isle more than the others. It's such an easy recipe that you can experiment with different flavors without breaking the bank. Good luck with the adoption event.
I don't see any measurements on the ingredients help please???
