Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, oatmeal, dehydrated bacon crumbles, garlic salt, and onion salt.
- Add the beaten eggs and gradually incorporate the beef broth until the mixture is just moist enough to shape into a ball.
- If the mixture is too moist, add a little more flour; if too dry, add more broth.
- Generously flour a work surface and roll out the mixture to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
- Dip the edges of a cookie cutter into vegetable oil and cut out shapes, preferably using a doggie bone cutter if available.
- Place the cutouts on a microwave-safe cookie sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded.
- Cook on high power for 8 to 10 minutes or until the treats are firm.
- Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Tips & Substitutions
For a healthier twist, consider using almond flour instead of whole wheat flour, which can be easier on sensitive doggy tummies. If your dog is sensitive to garlic or onion, you can omit those ingredients altogether. Ensure the bacon crumbles are dog-safe, as some brands may contain additives. For variety, add pureed pumpkin or mashed sweet potato to the mixture for added nutrition.
