Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients together and roll out on a floured board or tabletop.
- Cut with a bone-shaped cookie cutter and place on a cookie sheet lightly sprayed with Pam.
- Bake at 350°F for about 40 minutes.
- Let set until cool on a wire rack.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating a bit of peanut butter or pumpkin puree into the mixture. If you don't have whole wheat flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour, though the texture may vary slightly. Ensure your dough is not too sticky by adjusting the water and flour ratio as needed. Rolling out the dough on a floured surface helps achieve the right thickness for baking.
Serving Suggestions
These dog biscuits can be served as a treat between meals or as a reward during training sessions. Pair them with some fresh water for your furry friend. For an added touch, consider serving them alongside a homemade dog-friendly treat like peanut butter or pumpkin puree in moderation. Dogs will love the crunchy texture and wholesome ingredients.
Storage & Reheating
Store the baked dog biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. For longer storage, consider freezing them—just place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. To reheat, simply microwave for a few seconds or let them sit out at room temperature to soften slightly before serving.

Are these biscuits suitable for all dog breeds?
Generally, these biscuits are safe for most dogs, but it's always wise to consider any allergies or dietary restrictions your pet may have. If your dog has specific health issues, consult your veterinarian to ensure these treats are appropriate.
