Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

 

I made a variation of these dog biscuits last Christmas for a few special dogs in my life.  All the dogs enjoyed them, as well as a couple of my friends who tested them for the pups :) They really are more of a peanut butter banana cracker, so these are approved for dogs and humans!

 

 

This recipe is super simple too, just mash up:

4 eggs

2/3 cup peanut butter

2 bananas

 

Mix in:

2 cups wheat flour

1 cup wheat germ

 

Until you have dough (you can see my pup waiting patiently in the background)

 

Then roll it out on a floured surface and cut your shapes out.  I found a dog bone cookie cutter at a craft store for about $0.75.

 

 

 

 

Put them on an oiled cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes at 350°F.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let cool and watch your dog devour them!

Vegan Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookie Bars

These cookies are simple and tasty.  I make this cookie dough recipe just to eat the cookie dough.  I had planned to add it to some almond milk ice cream, but we ate all the ice cream too quickly!  So I came up with this.

 

First I oiled my mini loaf pan (You could also use a cupcake pan or a large pan and cut the bars into pieces).  I layered the bottom with pretzel pieces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used a cookie recipe from How It All Vegan.  First mix:

1 ¾ flour

¾ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

¾ cups sugar

 

Then add:

½ cup oil

½ tsp vanilla

½ cup rice milk

1 cup chocolate chips (I used dark chocolate chunks)

 

Stir it all together and spoon the mixture over the pretzels.  Push the dough into the pretzels so they stick together.  Then bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until golden brown.  Pop them out of your pan and allow to cool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not bad for vegan cookies, but next time I will add a layer of chocolate chips and maybe put more pretzels on the top!  And they taste great dipped in coffee or rice milk.
