Nutty For Nut Bones: Grain-Free Treats Your Pooch Will Go Nuts For

This is a treat your dogs are bound to go nuts over! Seriously, since I first created this homemade dog biscuit recipe a while back, I knew it would become one of my go-to pup snacks. Made with a mixture of almond and coconut flour, this easy-to-make treat is naturally grain-free (which I love). Plus, once baked, it creates a super crunchy texture (which my dogs love).


A Few Health Benefits

  • Almond flour provides healthy fats, protein, fiber, magnesium, and vitamin E.
  • Coconut flour offers fiber, iron, and a small amount of protein.
  • Peanut butter is packed with protein and healthy fats.
  • Ground flax seeds are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and a small amount of protein.
  • Ground ginger has anti-inflammatory properties and is known to aid digestion.

The Recipe

Grain-Free Nutty For Nut Bones Dog Biscuits

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups super-fine almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seed
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup water

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Combine almond flour, coconut flour, ground flaxseeds, and ground ginger. Whisk together.
  3. Add peanut butter and water. Mix together.
  4. Knead mixture until it forms a dough ball.
  5. Using a rolling pin, roll dough ball out to approximately 1/4 inch thick and use a cookie cutter to stamp out biscuits.
  6. Bake in 350º oven for 18-20 minutes. They should come out crunchy!

Notes

Since this recipe is loaded with healthy fats, the dough will be a bit greasy. That’s why, when rolling out this dough, I like to cover my dough ball with a piece of parchment paper and then use a rolling pin to flatten.
