Try to use whole-grain wheat flour. From what I have read, that's the healthiest for dogs. But always check with your vet before trying anything new for your four legged friends.
Also, I wanted to mention, after baking these are a soft treat. So no worries if you have an older dog with chewing problems.
Anyway, I've added the recipe at the bottom and hope you give these a try! Drop me a comment letting me know what your pup thought of them!

| This is a no-finesse-needed recipe. You can literally just start adding the ingredients into a large bowl in the order I have them listed. |
 |
| I use whey instead of the fat free milk. I have information added at the bottom of the page as to why I do it this way. |
 |
| I know this is Just for a dog, but I don't like to cut corners. After all, they're man's best friend. So, after everything is well combined, I like to leave the dough rest for about 10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb some flavor. |
 |
| Roll out dough onto your favorite cutting board into a square or rectangle. I like to cut the dough so I can make perfect-ish treats. Also, I found that using a pizza cutter works great! So cut, re-shape, and cut again, until you have used up all your dough. |

 |
| The Shapes! Cut your shapes accordingly; What I mean by that is dog size. If you have a larger dog, cut the treats larger, a smaller dog will need smaller treats! |
 |
| I have found that using an elongated spatula helps speed up the processes of placing the formed treats onto your baking sheet. |
 |
| I'm using a sil-mat, but that's optional. |

 |
| Allow to cool until room temperature. |
Note: Makes Approximately 100 Treats
Special Tools or Equipment Needed: A Dog
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1/3 Cup Oats
- 1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 3/4 Cup Nonfat Milk (I use Whey*)
- 1 Large Egg
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 325°F
- This is a no-finesse-needed recipe. You can literally just start adding the ingredients into a large bowl in the order I have them listed.
- I use a an electric hand-mixer to get things started, then switch to a sturdy silicone spatula when it comes together to do the rest.
- I know this is Just for a dog, but I don't like to cut corners. After all, they're man's best friend. So, after everything is well combined, I like to leave the dough rest for about 10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb some flavor.
- Roll out dough onto your favorite cutting board to about 1/4 inch thickness, into a square or rectangle. I like to cut the dough so I can make perfect-ish treats. Also, I found that using a pizza cutter works great! So cut, re-shape, and cut again, until you have used up all your dough.
- I have found that using an elongated spatula helps speed up the processes of placing the formed treats onto your baking sheet. I'm using a sil-mat, but that's optional.
- Bake in preheated oven 18-20 minutes or until bottom of treats are golden.
- Remove treats to cooling rack until at room temperature.
I know these treats last at least two weeks at room temperature. I like to keep the bulk of them in the freezer, and keep a small bag handy. Also, in the summertime these frozen treats make for a great cold snack for your overheated companion.

*I'd like to mention I use whey instead of milk because it's packed with vitamins, minerals, and proteins. So needless to say it's extremely healthy and good for your dog (and humans too) with zero fats. Also, I make Homemade Mozzarella Cheese, so I end up with a lot of extra whey.
