Valentine's Day Raspberry Peanut Butter Vegan Dog Treats
Don't forget your precious pup this Valentine's Day - spend some time on a special treat for them with this raspberry peanut butter vegan dog treat!
Equipment
- blender or food processor
- Rolling Pin
Ingredients
- 1 banana mashed
- ½ cup + 2 tbsp whole wheat flour
- ⅓ cup peanut butter*
- ¼ cup apple sauce unsweetened, unflavored
- ¼ cup freeze dried raspberries powdered
Instructions
- If your freeze dried raspberries are whole, blend or pulse them until they are powdered. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Mix all of the ingredients together until a dough forms. It should stay together as one dough ball and not stick to your hands. If it won't stick together, add a bit of applesauce (1 tsp at a time) until it forms a ball. If it's too sticky, add a bit of whole wheat flour at a time until you are able to hold the ball without it sticking to your hands.
- Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper. Add another sheet on top and use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to about ¼ inch thick. Use a cookie cutter of your choice (I used hearts for Valentine's Day) or use a knife to make squares.
- If there is any dough remaining after using the cookie cutter, reroll it and repeat until all of the dough has been used. Place all of the cookies on a parchment paper lined baking tray. The cookies don't spread so they can be placed as close as ¼-½ inch apart.
- Place the tray in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack immediately.
- Let cool completely before feeding to your pup!
