Holiday Recipe: Gluten-Free Bonbons
Posted by The Honest Kitchen on 6th December 2016
Ingredients:
- 1 cup The Honest Kitchen Force™ dehydrated dog food
- 1/2 cup ground beef
- 1 cup canned pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie mix)
- 1 free range egg
- 1 small handful of quinoa or buckwheat flour
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Mix equal part of the Force™ and pumpkin together in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add in the beef, quinoa flour, and egg, and mix until well blended.
- Shape into balls of a size appropriate for your dog, and place onto a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until slightly golden on the outside, but soft in the middle.
- Cool, and then call in the hounds.
- These treats will store for about a week in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Tips:
These treats are quick and easy to make and are suitable for most sensitive pets. Quinoa and buckwheat are not true grains and are very well tolerated, even by grain-allergic pets. ALSO: Quinoa flour has quite a strong taste and aroma, which most pets love, but some animals take a while to get used to it. If you have a fussy pup, buckwheat flour is a perfectly good alternative.
