To say I love my dog, would be to say the sky is “bluish.” Aka an understatement. I love the little mush that he is more than is probably natural or normal. BUT- I don’t apologize for it 🙂
I also love my friend’s dogs. Soo very much! I was going to a good friend’s house for dinner and she reminded me it was her dog’s birthday the same day. What did that make me think of? I need to make GF dog treats ASAP. So, that’s what I did!!
Safe to say, both her dog and mine genuinely approved of the recipe. I checked each ingredient and made sure it was dog friendly. I was worried about the molasses (even though it’s just 1 tablespoon), but after research, I realized that the molasses I used is the safest option for dogs (picture below). It has 16grams of sugar per tablespoon. This recipe yielded 28 treats. Aka- way less than 1 gram of sugar per treat. It was absolutely the healthiest dog treat I’ve ever seen. And, I used natural PB with no added sugars. This was a winning & healthy recipe for all!! One that dog owners can feel good about giving their fur babies.
