Valentine's Day Treat for Your Dog

January 12, 2017.  Your pooch may not know it’s Valentine’s Day, but he’ll definitely know you love him when you give him these awesome homemade treats, courtesy of Gourmet Dog Treat Recipes. A touch of honey and cinnamon add just the right blend of sweet and spice to this gourmet dog treat.

Cinnamon Honey Hearts Dog Biscuits  

1/4 Cup Water, 
1/4 Cup pureed Banana, 
1/2 Cup plain Yogurt, 
1 Tablespoon Honey, 
1 Tablespoon Canola Oil, 
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon, 
1/2 Cup Oat Flour, 
1/4 Cup Rice Flour, 
1 Cup Wheat Flour. 

Instructions:

• In a small bowl combine the cinnamon, oat flour, rice flour, and 1/2 cup wheat flour. Set aside. In a separate bowl mix water, banana, yogurt, honey, and canola oil with an electric mixer. Add the dry ingredients and mix until well blended. Mix in remaining wheat flour 1/4 cup at a time until a stiff dough forms.
• Place on floured surface and roll to desired thickness. Cut into desired shapes. Bake at 300 degrees. If rolled to 3/8″ baking time is 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Tip: After shutting off the oven I leave the dog biscuits in the oven for a couple hours to make sure they are completely dry and crunchy. Then they can be stored for a long time without worrying about spoilage.
