Banana Carob Biscotti Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1-1/2 cups organic oat Flour (if your dough is too wet add more flour 1/4 cup at a time.)
  • 1-1/2 cups organic quick cook oatmeal
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup carob chips (DO NOT USE CHOCOLATE CHIPS)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix all the ingredients, except the carob chips, together in a bowl.  Use a stand mixer if you have one. Once a thick dough has formed (somewhere between a cookie dough and a bread dough), add the carob chip and mix in gently.  Use your hands to form the dough into a loaf shape.  HINT: this dough was too fat.  Make your dough flatter and longer.

    Bake on the middle rack on a lined cookie sheet for 20 minutes.  Remove the loaf from the oven and let it stand on the counter for 15 minutes before cutting into 1 inch slices.  HINT: Use a serrated knife.

    After cutting, put the pieces back on the cookie sheet, return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until  you have a crispy cookie.  Remove from oven and let cool.  For a seriously crunch worthy snack, turn the oven off and  leave the cookies to dry in the oven for a few hours.  Keep the cookies in a sealed container on the counter for a week.  If you only have one or two pups, or did not make them super crunchy, it is suggested that you refrigerate.

Pumpkin cheese cake recipe for dogs

 

Diva Dog Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe

Crust – mix the following ingredients together into a thick, sticky dough which should have the same consistency as cookie dough:

– 2/3 cup quick oats

– 1 teaspoon molasses  (I use blackstrap molasses)

– 2 teaspoons peanut butter

– 1/8 to 1/4 cup water

Scoop a teaspoon full of the crust mixture into the sections of a mini muffin pan.  then use the spoon to shape the crust to the muffin pan by smushing it along the sides and the bottom.

 

Filling – mix the following ingredients together until the cream cheese is fully integrated into the pumpkin:

– 1/3 cup of  cream cheese

– 2/3 cup of canned pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie mix)

– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

– a dash of ground ginger

– two slices of cooked bacon for garnish.

Spoon a tablespoon of the mixture into each crust.  Garnish with pieces of bacon and bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 mins.

 

Makes 12 mini cakes if you use a mini muffin pan.  However, feel free to make one big cake using a small baking dish.  This may take longer to cook so be sure to test  the center with a fork.  Optional: put a drop of honey on the top of each cake.  Please store in the refrigerator.
