3-Ingredient Dog Biscuits


We try to limit the amount of wheat, corn and soy in the diet of our two very-spoiled Boston terriers.   But quality dog biscuits with limited ingredients are expensive.  3-Ingredient Dog Biscuits to the rescue!  They're fun, easy to make, and you have complete control over the ingredients.  Instructions for grain-free biscuits are also included!


3-Ingredient Dog Biscuits

1 1/2 cups brown rice flour*
1/2 cup quick oats
2 (4 oz.) containers pureed baby food (Make sure there is no onion powder in it.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Mix the flour, quick oats, and baby food together to form a stiff dough.  Add extra flour or water as needed.  It should be the consistency of pie dough.  On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out evenly until it's about 1/4 inch thick.  Cut into desired shapes or use a pizza cutter to make strips or cubes.  Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees.  Turn off the oven, and let the biscuits sit in the oven until the oven is completely cool (this dehydrates the biscuits).  Store in a paper bag or cardboard box.  

YIELD:  38 2-inch dog bone-shaped biscuits

*Whole wheat flour can be used (NOT all purpose or self-rising). For a grain-free biscuit, you can eliminate the oats and use 2 cups of bean flour, buckwheat flour, quinoa flour, coconut flour, or peanut flour.  You will also want to make sure your baby food does not contain grains.  

If the recipe is made as written, I usually have to add 2 tsp. of water to the dough to get it to the right consistency.

Note:  I like to use brown rice flour for this recipe.  To read about the health benefits of brown rice and brown rice flour for your dog, click here.

I use this box to store the 3-Ingredient Dog Biscuits.  I think you can see why!  :)
