Armed with dog-friendly ingredients, a sprinkling of optimism, and perhaps a little too much enthusiasm, we recently set about creating a batch of birthday biscuits worthy of the occasion. Rascal, as Birthday Girl, took on the important role of chief taste tester and quality control!
Plenty of trial, some error - a few biscuits had more “character” than symmetry - but that’s all part of the fun. After all, the best homemade treats are made with a generous helping of love.
The result? A batch of crunchy birthday biscuits that earned the highest praise imaginable, a wagging tail, a hopeful stare, and a request for another before the crumbs had even settled.
Feeling inspired? We've popped the recipe below so you and your sous-chef (the one with four paws) can have a go at home.
½ cup of rolled oats
1 ripe mashed banana
¼ cup of Xylitol free peanut butter
1 tablespoon honey
Step 1 - preheat your oven to 170 degrease and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2 - Blend the oats until fine.
Step 3 - Combine all the wet ingrediets into a bowl and gradually add the oats.
Step 4 - When all ingredients are mixed together and you have a dough roll out to a ¼ inch thickness.
Step 5 - Cut into your desired shapes.
Step 6 - place onto the baking sheet and bake for around 20-25 minutes until firm and golden.
Bon appetit!
The baking begins…
Chief taste tester approves.
The anticipation builds…
Party time!
