Banana Mutt Cookies

It’s Scrumptious Sunday!  

I think this is beginning to be one of my favorite posts  for the week because mom gets busy in the kitchen making goodie for the four legged kind and I get busy being a taste tester!  Yum!

This week since mom had some bananas laying around and  required some much needed attention, she pulled out the trusty  Three Dog Bakery cookbook out and started looking through to find a recipe that contained bananas!  Didn’t take long to find the perfect thing to get my tail waggin’!

Banana Mutt Cookies

Here is what the recipe called for:

1 1/2 cups ripe mashed bananas

1/2 teaspoon  vanilla

3 cups oats

1/2 cup chopped peanuts (we used 1/4 cup peanut butter)

1/4 cup applesauce

IMG_5125

Put all the ingredients in a bowl….

Mix all that yummy goodness thoroughly…

Drop spoonfuls of the mixture to an ungreased baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350 oven for 15 minutes.

Then try to patiently wait for them to get done…

After they are done baking, cool on rack before serving this to your wonderful and most deserving pooch or pooches!!  This recipe made about 24 of these scrumptious smelling, tummy tickling, mouthwatering cookies!  A must try recipe!!   The only thing I have against these cookies…is the name!  There is nothing MUTT about ‘em!

All dog alert here….don’t tell mom that I barked about this, but I think there is talk of a Three Dog Bakery cookbook give-a-way coming up soon!  :o)

Scrumptious Sundays

It’s me again, Ginger.

ginger and tilda 2

My sister, Matilda, decided to join me today.  She is a real pain in my rear ♥ her.

Since this day is about yummy morsels of goodnesss either that are homemade or store bought I thought I would share with you some yummy treats my Mom picked up for me at Petco the other day.

Don’t these look delish

 IMG_0891

I have two favorites. 

The first one is the praline cookies.  They are heavenly.  Trust me my human brother tried them and he loves them to

(the Petco people told him it was okay to try them since they are all natural ingredients just less sugar ☺)

IMG_0894

The creme filled are my fav favorite though .  These little suckers right here are so delicious you might smack the kitty wouldn’t that be the best.  I mean I wouldn’t because I hate love my sister.

So if you are near a Petco and want to stop by their puppy bakery I would highly recommend it.

Scrumptious Sunday!!

I think I can woof with total excitement!!  I can tell you that I am going to love “Scrumptious Sunday”!!  Oh yeah, my tail is wagging with pure excitement!

My mom ordered a cook book full of  yummy recipes just for me!!  The cook book is called Three Dog Bakery Cookbook.  They have a bakery and are also on TV….gotta check that out.  Anyhoo, before I start to drool, let’s get right into the recipe. 

We made “Simple Simon’s Birthday Bones”

 IMG_4865

What you need is flour, baking powder, peanut butter and milk.  Don’t forget willpower.  I was wanting to lick that peanut butter so badly!!!

IMG_4866 IMG_4867

Mix the peanut  butter and milk really good.  Then add the dry ingredients.

IMG_4868  IMG_4875

Mix all that really good.  Then throw the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead.

IMG_4876 IMG_4879

Roll out dough to  about 1/4 inch thick (ours were a little thicker because mom read it wrong, she thought it was 1/2 inch) .  We used tiny animal cookie cutters because, well I am a small dog, but she also used a larger cookie cutter for the big dogs outside.  So whatever makes your pooch happy!  Place on a greased cookie sheet, or not, mom used stoneware and she did not grease it.  We baked the little treats for 10 minutes and the bigger ones for 20 minutes.  After baking, let them cool on rack.

IMG_4877  IMG_4882 

I was beside my self with excitement.  I always know when she is doing something for me and I was about to have a panic attack when she no longer let me help make the snacks.  I can’t help that I was wanting to taste  EVERYTHING!

IMG_4883 IMG_4884

Oh my, I am in heaven.  Fresh, right out of the oven, warm, melt in your mouth, HEAVEN!

We even packaged some up for friends!!  Nice huh??

Here is the official recipe.  We made a half batch because someone…JOEY, (he is the youngest human teenager) ate all the peanut butter!!   Also, let me know if you make these at home!!

Simple Simon’s Birthday Bones

2 cups whole –wheat flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 cup natural peanut butter

1 cup skim milk

Mix peanut butter and milk.  Add dry ingredients and mix well.  Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead.  Roll out to 1/4 inch thick and cut out shapes.  Places on greased baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 375 or until lightly brown.  Cool on rack then store in an airtight container.  Makes about 30 large bones.
