A special home made birthday treat baked for my most trusted and faithful friend. The biscuits are called Bonnie's Banana Cookies from the Baking For Your Dog Cookbook. Here is the recipe.
- 2 carrots
- 1 banana
- 7 oz.(200g) all purpose flour
- 3 1/2 oz.(100g) fine rolled oats
- 1 1/2 fl. oz.(50ml) sunflower oil
- water as required
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees(180c). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick and cut squares. ( I used a dog bone cookie cutter). Place on the sheet pan and bake for 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and let cool overnight in the oven. Store in a paper or linen bag. The cookies will keep for about 3 weeks. Recipe makes around 30 cookies.
A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, big or small, young or old. He doesn't care if you're not smart, not popular, not a good joke teller, not the best athlete, nor the best looking person. To your dog, you are the greatest, the smartest, the nicest human being who was ever born. You are his friend and protector. Louis Sabin
Baked and ready to eat. Come Bella Come!!! |
What a lucky dog!!! Lovely bone shaped cutter too, where did you find it?
ReplyDeleteWillie is sitting here with me thinking "Lucky Bella". I will have to try these. He loves carrots. How do you store them?
ReplyDeleteFay, I found the set of copper cookies cutters at Marshalls.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, I store them in Bella's cookie jar. She loves them!!
I need to make some for my dog. I bet she would love them. I love your cutter too. I don't know what I would do without my dog. I found myself saying today in a tone I would use to a person." Are you ready to go outside, we need to feed the chickens." Then I was glad no one heard me but her. She understood every word too.
ReplyDeletesusan...i LOVED all of this...happy birthday bella....

Bella is beautiful. I have several grand-dogs. Maybe I should bake them some cookies next time I bake for the grand-babies.
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww so sweet. I miss my Bella everytime I see yours! Bella must adore you - the love and care you show her. I like the quote too.
ReplyDeleteA big happy birthday wish to Bella! She's a lucky girl having her very own doggy biscuits baked specially for her. I wouldn't have to call my Inca for a biscuit ... she would have been sitting next to me in the kitchen! She is my kitchen companion ... if I'm in there so is she, just in case anything drops on the floor!!!! Ever hopeful!
ReplyDeleteAwwww Bella's a lucky girl! My Holly would love these. I've never made her dog biscuits before. Such a good idea!
ReplyDeleteliking that recipe. I am sure that Max will enjoy testing them out soon!
ReplyDeleteMy parents would LOVE this. They have two little doggies (who I knitted sweaters for for Christmas - you can see one them on my blog if you're interested under "my humble knits"). These are SO cute. You are truly a good dog protector. ;)

ReplyDeleteBailey's birthday is on 4th of July so my hubby always makes him a sausage. Bella's treats look much more exciting!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Bella! And what a great healthy recipe! I didnt even realise there were cookbooks with dog recipes!!!!!Better not tell my daughter.........
ReplyDeleteGreat words too, and so true - dogs, bless them, are such faithful creatures - I have one such little fella on my lap now as I type - I am so lucky!
Have a great weekend and thanks for sharing the recipe!
Bella's doggy treats look healthy and yummy! Our Corgis love carrot treats and peanut butter bones ... I should bookmark your recipe for some homemade treats for Pete and Mimi!

Happy Birthday dear Bella!! I agree with the poem fully-they are the best friends on earth. I think Bella must have had a great birthday--these treats look so yummy!! She is beautiful.
ReplyDeletePS--you had mentioned me joining in for the next bake off from the great book you gals have...When are you doing that again? I have to expose myself--I am a TERRIBLE cook, absolutely terrible.
Amy xo :)

Happy Birthday Bella! You are a very lucky dog to get these yummy treats...can't wait to make them for Benny Boy!
ReplyDeleteTooooooo cute for words!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this doggy recipe! We've been doggy sitting a pooch that loves to beg for scraps and our dog just looks at him like he's nuts if he thinks he's gonna get any scraps from us! It's pretty comical, and I feel sorry for him. I think I'll bake him some healthy treats this weekend!! Happy Birthday Bella!!
ReplyDeleteAww - love this post. And I have a bone cutter already! Yay!
ReplyDeleteAlso - just thought I'd let you know that I visited T Ann Cake since you were the one who let me know about them - thank you - lovely cafe!
Wow, I love the bone shapes! I guess OK for human consumption too. Did you try one? x
ReplyDeleteJust catching up. You got my attention with a stick of butter in the Colcannon recipe!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet these dog biscuits taste pretty good. I'd like to try one.
