FiveRoooooers Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) After his dental last Friday, Aiden is still on a soft diet and until today I was struggling to find appropriate treats. I whipped up these noms and he loves them: 1-1/2 c oat flour (we grind our oats) ~3T peanut butter ~2-3 T honey The mixture is initially coarse but comes together nicely and then shapes into bite-sized pieces. Success Update: We've baked a batch of another fine soft treat that was originally posted by another GT'er back in 2013. It freezes very well and, as the recipe says, the yield is "a ton of treats" Tuna Fudge 2-6 oz cans tuna in water, undrained 2 eggs 1-1/2 c AP flour 1/4 c Parmesan cheese Mix all ingredients and pat into a greased (sprayed) 9x13" pan. Bake at 350F for 20-22'. Let pan cool on rack. Cut into strips, then into fine dice. Excellent for hounds recovering from dentals or for when your hound panics after the Annual Corn Cannon Season begins.

racindog Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Aiden is a lucky dog! Homemade treats! Quite a delicacy Generally speaking nobody (not even me) gets anything homemade at our house. All store bought stuff. The only saving grace is that they are raw fed and my processed food is so UNappetizing I don't eat enough of it to get fat hehe.

Buddy, yay you!! I’ve just looked up my recipe which does have flour (self raising flour) but oat flour is probably much better. It also doesn’t have PB so I think I am borrowing from other recipes and mixing them into one! In case you would like it, the recipe is: 140g SR flour 113g rolled oats 28g desiccated coconut 113g margarine 2tbsp honey 1tsp bicarbonate of soda 1tbsp milk (oh dear this recipe is nothing like yours!) method: preheat the oven to 180c/350f. combine the dry ingredients. Melt the margarine with the honey and remove from the heat. Mix the milk and bicarb soda and add to the honey mix. Stir into the dry ingredients and mix completely. Leave to stand for 15 mins. Bake in preheated oven. Divide into balls, bake on a baking tray and when done, turn off the oven, open the door to release steam, then keep in the oven to allow the heat to dry them out (if you skip this step they will stay softer). They can be frozen. this should make about 30 Quote Buddy Molly 🌈 5/11/10-10/10/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyPoopon Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Your clever recipe is similar to the core of Kraft's pb balls/bites recipes. Here's one link: https://www.kraftcanada.ca/recipe/crunchy-chocolate-chip-peanut-butter-snack-bites-177645 The core of the recipe (rolled oats, honey, pb) is very tolerant of different add-ins. Baking isn't necessary but refrigeration (or even freezing) helps, especially if one drops the honey, as I did for myownself.

You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same.
