Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 c. whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 c. quick rolled oats
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 c. white flour
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 3/4 c. powdered milk
  • 1/4 c. yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 c. hot water
  • 1/3 c. vegetable oil
  • 1 Tbsp. chicken or beef bouillon granules or 1/4 c. canned grated American cheese

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients until well blended.
  2. Roll out the dough on a floured board.

  4. Bake in a 350°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or microwave at 50% power for 5 to 10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes until dry.

Tips & Substitutions

For a crunchier texture, consider adding an extra 1/4 cup of oats or increasing the baking time slightly. If your dog is lactose intolerant, substitute powdered milk with a dairy-free option. Ensure that the bouillon granules are low-sodium or choose canned grated American cheese for added flavor without excess salt. Experiment with different shapes using cookie cutters for fun variations.

Serving Suggestions

These dog biscuits can be served as a treat during training or as a reward after a walk. Pair them with some fresh water to keep your furry friend hydrated. For a special occasion, serve alongside homemade dog-friendly meals like Chicken-Peanut Stew From Ghana to create a delightful feast for your pet.

Storage & Reheating

Store the baked Bailey Bones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze them for up to three months. To reheat, simply warm them in a microwave for a few seconds to bring back some texture, but ensure they are not too hot for your pet.
