I tried 3 simple variations on this recipe to make 3 versions of treats for the dogs.
Cinnamon Buttermilk Bones
4 C whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
2 C buttermilk
1/4 C honey
2 tsp vanilla
6 Tbsp unsalted butter
Melt the butter, set aside. Mix together the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients, mix lightly then drizzle in melter butter and mix thoroughly to form a dough. Roll out on a floured surface. Cut into desired shapes. Bake on a greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes.
Gingerbread Buttermilk Bones
4 C whole wheat flour
1 Tbsp ginger
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
2 C buttermilk
1/4 C honey
1/2 C blackstrap molasses
Mix together the dry ingredients. Stir the wet ingredients to mix and combine with the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly to form a dough. Roll out on a floured surface. Cut into desired shapes. Bake on a greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes.
Peanut Butter Biscotti
4 C whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 1/2 C buttermilk
1 C peanut butter
Using an electric mixer, beat the peanut butter and buttermilk until smooth. Mix together the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients, and mix thoroughly to form a dough. Shape dough into a log on waxed paper, wrap and refrigerate overnight. Cut the log into desired sized slices with a knife. Bake on a greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes, flipping treats halfway through.

/ July 7, 2015Thanks for such easy recipes! We don’t have air conditioning (just small, anemic window units in 2 rooms) so no oven baking until autumn, but my dogs will love these!
