Confidential to Jengibre

Spoiled dog! Actually Chris came across this recipe to bake your own doggie treats:

Mongrel Munchers:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups quick whole oats (rolled)
1/2 cup chopped unsalted peanuts
1 large ripe banana (mashed)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 sup unsweetened applesauce

preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
stir together flour, oats, and peanuts in a bowl
in a separate bowl stir banana, applesauce, and vanilla extract
add the first bowl of dry ingredients to the banana mixture and stir
roll dough into walnut size balls and flatten on ungreased baking sheet
bake 15 minutes or until lightly golden
cool on rack before serving

These doggy treats are supposed to stay good for a week if stored in an airtight container on the counter, or if wrapped well and frozen, they will keep for two months. Since I do not have a dog, I can't vouch for how much a dog would like them, but it seemed like such an easy healthy recipe of things that most people already have in their kitchens. I thought perhaps Jengibre (that's my moms little monster... errr dog) might enjoy them as part of her less chicken, more health food diet.
