Dog treats
Peanut Butter and Oats Dog Chew Sticks
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened, xylitol-free)
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and peanut butter. If you choose to add honey, stir it in at this step.
2. Knead the mixture until it forms a dough-like consistency. If the mixture is too sticky, add more oats. If it's too dry, add a small amount of water.
3. Divide the dough into portions and roll each portion into a thin stick or braid multiple strips for a fun design.
4. Place the sticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet or directly on a plate if not baking.
5. Freeze for 1-2 hours until firm for a refreshing chew or bake at 325°F (160°C) for 20-25 minutes for a crunchier texture.
6. Let the sticks cool or set fully before serving to your dog.
Storage
Store in an airtight container. Keep frozen for up to 2 months for frozen chews or store baked sticks in a cool, dry place for up to 1 week.
