Nutty Bacon Dog Treats

Nutty Bacon Dog Treats

Ingredients:
 
3 slices of bacon (diced)
1 egg
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon maple syrup 
3 tablespoons water
1/2 cup soy flour (see note)
1/2 whole wheat pastry flour (see note) 
1/2 cup wheat germ

Directions:

Preheat oven to 300 F 

• Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

• Fry the diced bacon until crispy. With a slotted spoon, remove the crispy bacon but save the fat. Allow the fat to cool slightly (2-5 minutes).

• Add the egg, peanut butter, maple syrup and water to the bacon fat and mix thoroughly.

• Add in the flours and wheat germ and mix until combined. Stir in the crispy bacon pieces.

• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4" thick. Cut into desired shapes. I used three different 1" cookie cutters.

• Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes (for 1" diameter shapes) until lightly browned.

• Cool and make them beg for it.

Makes 6 dozen 1" diameter treats

Note: If you don't have soy or wheat pastry flour, use regular flour.
