Packaged with funny names in foreign languages.

This is so easy, you’ll never pay the price for store bought treats!

2 Cups whole wheat flour

1 Apple grated or processed (I don’t bother peeling)

1 Banana mashed or processed

3 Tablespoons of peanut butter

3 Tablespoons of grated cheese (Cheap parmesan works well)

2 Tablespoons of Olive or Canola Oil

3 Tablespoons of water or meat broth

1/4 Cup of non-fat powdered milk

1 Egg

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees.

Mix dry ingredients and then add wet components and mix together well. You’ll likely have to work this into a dough ball with your hands. Once mixed to the consistency of bread dough, dust your work surface with flour and roll the dough out to a size that coordinates with your cookie sheet. If you’ve got too much you might have to roll the dough out in two batches.

I am not a pastry chef by any stretch of the imagination.

Transfer the flat dough to a cookie sheet and score into bite sized pieces. I used a pizza cutter (on my cheapo spare cookie sheet) and it worked really well.

Bake for about 13-14 minutes until golden brown. The treats won’t be totally crispy until they’ve cooled so don’t be disappointed yet. Fair warning, these things smell really good when they’re baking; you might want to have something to snack on while you wait for the oven. I don’t suggest snacking on the treats though because they’re bland as heck. (I did NOT try them but my other-half insisted on doing so, even after I told him what was in them.)

Fresh out of the oven!

Let the treats cool and break apart along the score lines and store in an airtight container for up to about a month or more. These can also be frozen for longer storage.

There are loads of recipes on the web this one just seems to work for my dog. I figure each batch cost me about a buck to make.
