Oliver’s Favorite Dog Treats
Ingredients:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup milk
1 large egg
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 T baking powder
1/3 cup oats (quick or rolled)
2–3 strips cooked bacon, chopped
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the peanut butter, milk, and egg with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Add the flour and baking powder. Make sure it is mixed thoroughly. Add the oats and bacon.
Roll out the mix onto a floured surface and cut into shapes using cookie cutters or a knife. Arrange on the baking sheets. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until very lightly. Remove from the oven and flip the treats to bake the other side for 10-12 more minutes.
Allow to cool completely before serving to your pup. Cover and store leftovers at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Thanks so much for letting me visit the blog today with a recipe that's one of Oliver's favorite treats!
Always a pleasure to have you stop by, Heather!
That recipe looks good enough to bake for my human guys! That's a fun aspect of mysteries that involve dogs -- readers can see how the character/dog relationship in each story mirrors that they have with their own pets! Killer Crafts & Crafty Killers, thanks for highlighting To Fetch a Scoundrel!
I read the recipe to my mutts Tiller and Scout. Guess what I will be doing tomorrow? Yeah...making dog treats. Thanks for the recipe Heather Weidner!
