LIVER & BACON DOG TREATS

LIVER & BACON DOG TREATS

These biscuits are so easy to make. Liver and bacon are flavors dogs love, and will make these your dog’s favorites.
Ingredients
½ lb. chicken or beef liver, raw
6 slices bacon, cooked
2½ c. oat flour*
1½ c. brown rice flour
1 large egg
½ cup water

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. In a food processor, puree the liver. Pour the puree into a medium mixing bowl.
3. Break the bacon into pieces and put them in the food processor and grind to fine pieces. (Take the time to wash your food processor’s bowl at this point. You don’t want the liver and bacon to dry in the bowl; it’ll be a real pain to clean out later)
4. Combine all ingredients except the water in the mixing bowl.
5. Mix the ingredients, adding the water a little at a time just until a dough forms.
6. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to ¼-inch thickness.
7. With a cookie cutter or knife, cut the dough into shapes.
8. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and place the cookies on the sheet. They won’t expand much, so you can place them fairly close together.
9. Bake 22-27 minutes or until golden brown. For crisper cookies, turn off the oven and leave the cookies to cool in the oven for 6 to 8 hours.
10. Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

*Oat flour is available at Whole Foods and most natural grocery stores. You can also make your own oat flour with a food processor or blender. It only takes a couple of minutes and costs a fraction of what stores charge. Just put two cups of organic rolled oats in your blender or food processor and blend until the oats reach the consistency of flour.
