Be honest, who else tends to pamper their dogs? Okay, everyone put your hand up… Can you blame yourself though? In our search for hunting partners and companions, we chose a ball of fluff… Fluff or not, that doesn’t stop us dog owners from spoiling our pooches from time to time.
With Thanksgiving on the way and Christmas right afterwards, we felt it was time to give back to our own little pupper and make her some Christmas-time treats. Keep in mind, these are 100% dog-safe and human-safe too!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 Banana
- 3 Cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/3 cup of olive oil
- 1 cup of water
- 1/4 of molasses
- 1 cup of cranberries
In a handy-dandy stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, a banana, molasses, water and cranberries. Mix thoroughly until it becomes clumpy and create two balls of dough, storing both in zip-top bags or plastic wrap.
One goes into the fridge to chill for one and a half hours and the other goes into the freezer to freeze for another day. Once chilled, you’ll want to cut the treats to shape using a cookie cutter or otherwise of your choice.
Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and place the treats in for about 12-15 minutes.
Our dog loved these little morsels and funnily enough, they don’t taste bad for humans either. (Yes, I did shamelessly try one out of curiosity.)
I only have on regret in making these; the only way she’s going to listen to me now is if I schmooze her with these… What do you think? Do you pamper your pets as much as we do, or do you think we may be a bit psycho? Leave us a comment down below and be sure to shoot of any pictures you took on Instagram at #CanIGetaRamen.
