My pups go crazy for peanut butter, so I came up with a recipe of my own that would be easy to make and satisfy their obsession.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup quick oats
• 3 tablespoons almond milk
• 1 egg beaten
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (My secret ingredient)
• Cookie sheet
• Mixing bowls
• fork

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine dry ingredients-pancake or whole wheat flour and quick oats.
• Microwave peanut butter in a glass or microwave safe bowl and add to the dry ingredients. (The mixture will be crumbly)
• Blend milk, egg, and maple syrup and add to the dry ingredients and peanut butter.
• Knead the dough until it is thoroughly mixed. If it seems sticky, add some whole wheat flour until it becomes dough-like.
• Chill the dough for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Use a spoon to create 1” balls of dough and drop onto the cookie sheet.
• Use a fork to cross hatch the top of each treat and place the oven until golden brown–at least 20 minutes.
• Cool and share with your canine bestie!
