Gluten Free Dog Biscuit Recipe

 – 1 Lb ground meat ( lamb, beef, chicken, turkey ) Lamb and beef tend to be higher in fat. Chicken and turkey might be a better choice for an overweight dog.

– 1 large sweet potato ( cooked and mashed )

– 1 large egg

– 1/4 tsp garlic powder ( not garlic salt )or one large clove pressed

– 5 tbsp. large flake rolled oats ( organic if possible ) or 4 tbsp. ground flax seed meal

 

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a bowl, mixing up very well.

Lightly grease a cookie sheet with olive oil. ( very slightly )

Dump ingredients on cookie sheet and spread evenly and flatly to the sides of pan. This should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.

Bake for one hour at 350 degrees.

Remove pan from oven and use your cookie cutter at this time, if you want. If you don’t have a cookie cutter, just score the ‘cookie dough ‘with a knife or pizza cutter, into squares.

Put back into the oven and bake for another hour at 250 degrees.

This will dry these healthy dog treats out. Keep an eye on your oven. The time could be more or less, depending on how hot your oven runs.

These dog treats should be fairly dry and a little crispy, but not burned.

 

 

 

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Dog Biscuits

makes 36 large biscuits

2 1/2 cups brown rice flour

2 tablespoons flax meal

2 extra large eggs, lightly beaten

3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/4 cup cold water or enough to make dough stick

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Combine brown rice flour and flax meal in a large bowl. Mix eggs and pumpkin together in a separate bowl until smooth. Add pumpkin mixture to brown rice mixture in two parts, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula. Dough will be shaggy. Add water, a teaspoon or two at a time until the dough comes together – by this time you’ll need to use your hands to pull the dough together.

Roll dough out between two pieces of waxed or parchment paper to desired thickness. (I rolled mine 1/4 inch thick.) Remove top piece of waxed/parchment paper, flip dough onto brown rice floured counter, remove top piece, and then cut biscuits using desired cookie cutter. Re-roll and cut scraps until you’ve used every possible bit of dough.

Place biscuits on parchment lined baking sheets. If using a dog bone shaped cutter, you cam make a pattern in the middle using the tines of a fork. Gently press down, wiggle a little, then lift out.

Bake for 20 – 25 minutes, until the top of the biscuit has dried out completely. Remove tray from oven and flip biscuits over. Return to oven, rotating cookie sheet, and bake for another 20 – 25 minutes until biscuits are completely dry. Let biscuits cool on wire racks. Store in an airtight container.

Gluten free treats

Here’s a recipe for truly gluten-free dog treats:

1 cup gluten-free oats

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

1 can (or equal amount) of chicken broth

1 cup instant potato flakes (the 100% real potatoes with no other ingredients kind)

1 beaten egg

1/3 cup powdered milk

1.) In large bowl mix oats, oil and milk.

2.) Add chicken broth and mix again.

3.) Let it sit for five minutes (so the oats can soak up some liquid) and then add the potatoes and egg. Mix it all together.

4.) Roll with rolling pin to a thickness of ¼ inch.

5.) Cut into bars, squares or use a cookie cutter.

6.) Bake at 250(f) for 90 minutes, or until completely dried and crunchy..
