Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups (240 g) whole wheat flour or oat flour for wheat-sensitive dogs
- ½ cup (45 g) rolled oats
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup (120 ml) low-sodium chicken broth, no onion, no garlic, no harmful seasonings
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour and ½ cup of rolled oats; stir well to blend.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Crack in the egg, add the olive oil, and pour in the low-sodium chicken broth. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a dough.
- Adjust Dough Consistency: If the dough is too crumbly, add broth 1 tablespoon at a time (up to 2 tablespoons) until it holds together. If too sticky, sprinkle in flour 1 tablespoon at a time until manageable.
- Knead Lightly: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and cohesive.
- Roll Out Dough: Using a rolling pin, roll the dough evenly to about ¼ inch (6 mm) thickness.
- Cut Shapes: Use cookie cutters (like bones or circles) or a knife to cut biscuits into desired shapes. Place on the lined baking sheet with space in between.
- Bake Biscuits: For soft biscuits, bake 15–18 minutes until centers are set. For crunchy biscuits, bake 20–25 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool Completely: Transfer the baked biscuits to a wire rack to cool fully; this crisps them up and makes them safer for your dog’s teeth.
Notes
- Use low-sodium chicken broth without onions, garlic, or harmful seasonings to ensure safety for dogs.
- Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for 5–7 days.
- Freeze extra biscuits for up to 2 months and thaw individually as needed.
- Reheat frozen biscuits in the oven for a few minutes to restore crispness.
- Offer these treats in moderation as a supplement to your dog’s regular meals.
