Anyone have a good recipe for dog bisquits using spent grains?
Have you made them without peanut butter? We have a severe peanut allergy in the house unfortunately.I do- but it's not exact. I take the grains, add enough peanut butter so that it's stirable, and then an egg or two and stir that. If it's sort of goopy, I add a tiny bit of flour so it holds together. Then I put it on a non-stick cookie sheet and dry/bake at 300 for about 45 minutes. Once they are firm, I turn the oven off and let them sit in there until they are completely dry.
My dog LOVES them. When I start making them, he sits near the kitchen entrance and stays at the stove until he gets one.
I first made this with this recipe: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/spent-grain-make-your-best-friend-cookies.87097/ but I wanted less wheat flour in them so switched it up a bit.

My dog LOVES pumpkin- good call on that instead of the peanut butter!
When he was on antibiotics a few years ago, and ended up with some colitis as a result, my vet suggested a diet of pumpkin, vanilla yogurt, and rice.
He loved it so much. One day, I was mixing the canned pumpkin into the vanilla yogurt, and thought "This smells so good- I have to have taste!". And it was very very good. There's really no point to that story, except to say that is the only time I was caught eating the dog's food.
I found the pumpkin is plenty wet enough to not need more eggs. In fact, I had to use more flour. I'm sure your hound wont mind one bit!Yep they look pro here my first attempt I think I made the mixture too wet I used 4 eggs (bloody idiot) and I went with the pumpkin theme (No peanut butter in stock).
I baked 150 forgot about it panicked turned oven off left all night still a bit cake like in the middle so their back in the oven for some more drying. Sorry dog no fancy shapes from me Lol.View attachment 7392
Yep makes sence yep just gave here one i got the lick of approvalI found the pumpkin is plenty wet enough to not need more eggs. In fact, I had to use more flour. I'm sure your hound wont mind one bit!
Yep I ate one or two tastes pretty good. Got a bran type thing going on can't taste the pumpkin but plenty crunchy perfect for the poochess.To be honest, they look good enough to snack on a few myself.
