Pet Recipes

[GennyB]

Drake's birthday is coming up so I was looking for recipes for a doggie cake. I thought it might be fun to have a thread for pet recipes. Please feel free to post any goodies you make for your four legged friends.
My friend gave my this one.

Banana Honey Cake

Cake
2 cups water
2 medium bananas, mashed
1/8 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
2 tablespoons honey

Frosting
12 ounces fat free cream cheese, room temp
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon honey

Preheat oven to 350. In a bowl combine water, bananas, vanilla, egg and honey. Then add whole wheat flour and baking powder. Mix well.
Pour mixture into an 8 inch cake pan sprayed with nonstick spray.
Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out dry.
Cinnamon Frosting: In bowl combine ingredients and mix well. Frost cake when completely cool.
You can pipe different designs by using the carob frosting for color contrast. To make carob frosting, replace cinnamon with the same amount of carob powder.

Yum, that looks really good Genny!

Here's one I pulled out of one of the dog newsletters I get.

Liver Brownies


2 lbs chicken livers
2 Cups corn meal
2 Cups wheat germ
2 eggs
1/2 Cups dried parsley
Liquefy livers in food processor, pour into mixing bowl and add other ingredients. Mix until smooth like a brownie batter. Spread on a cookie sheet (1/2 sheet cake size) (I use parchment paper to line the pan) until it's evenly spread about 1/3 inch thick. Bake at 350 F for about 35 minutes. When cool cut into squares, or whatever shapes you prefer. I keep them in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator.

Archer's Grain Free Peanut Butter Pumpkin cookies
2 1/2 cups oat flour (can also use rice flour if allergies. use whole wheat flour if no allergies)
15 oz Canned pumpkin
3 HUGE TB Peanut butter
2 TB Molasses (unsulfured)
1/2 cup instant oats (if not allergic)
2 T ground flax seed or flax seeds
2 eggs (if not allergic)
1/2 tsp ground Cinnamon

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Add water to make dough more workable if needed. The dough should be dry and stiff. Roll dough into 1/2" thick roll. Cut into 1/2'" pieces, or use dog bone shaped cookie cutter. Bake at 350 degrees until cookies are hard...aprox 40 minutes. Enjoy

 

[Archer]

Apple Carrot Dog Treats
1 Cup Rice flour
1 Cup rolled Oats
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 Cup Applesauce (Unsweetened and Natural)
1/2 cup finely grated Carrot
3 Eggs (if not allergic)
3 TB Molasses
2 TB flax seeds

Preheat oven to 350. Stir together rice flour, oats and cinnamon in a medium sized bowl. Use a second smaller bowl to mix applesauce, carrots, egg and molasses. Slowly stir the applesauce mixture into the medium sized bowl a little at a time. Mix until well combined. Form into tiny ball clusters and drop onto sprayed cokie sheet, or cut out shape with a cookie cutter. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown

I guess they are more gluten free that truly grain free, but they do not bother Archer, who has a really sensitive tummy

This was in an email newsletter I got form the AKC, so I thought Id pass it along:

Pumpkin Peanut Butter Biscuits

• 2 1/2 cups whole wheat or barley flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 3 tablespoons peanut butter
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Stir dry ingredients in medium bowl. In separate bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin, and peanut butter. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and knead thoroughly. Dough should be dry and stiff; add small amounts of water as needed to make it workable. (If dough is too sticky, add small amounts of flour.) Roll dough into half-inch thickness and cut into half-inch pieces, using knife or cookie cutters
3. Bake about 40 minutes, or until hard and dry.

Mock Frosty Paws
32 fluid ounces vanilla yogurt
1 bananas, ripe, mashed or 1 (5 ounce) jar baby food
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey
Blend all ingredients together and freeze in 3-ounce paper cups.
Microwave just a few seconds before serving.

Sweet! Wonder if it could be made without the dairy. I'll have to start experimenting with dairy free.

Storing - This dog cake recipe will keep fresh in the refrigerator for about 5 days. Freeze the cakes for up to 3 months. If you choose to freeze the cakes, wrap each one individually with plastic wrap. Then wrap each one with heavy duty aluminum foil. Then place each one in a labeled freezer bag. It may seem like a lot of work, but it will keep the dog cakes delicate texture fresh longer.
Yield - Two 8 inch round cakes.
