This recipe has become my go-to treat to spoil my dog with nutritious snacks he loves.

Dry Ingredients: 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup dry milk powder (nonfat), 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients: 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 cup natural peanut butter (unsalted, xylitolfree), 2 large eggs, 1/3 cup water (as needed)

Step 1:: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3:: In a separate bowl, whisk together applesauce, peanut butter, and eggs until smooth.
Step 4:: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Add water, a tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too dry.
Step 5:: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll to 1/4inch thickness.
Step 6:: Cut out bone shapes with a cookie cutter and place on the prepared baking sheet.
