Maple/Bran Dog Biscuits

Total Time: 1 hour and 55 minutes
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour and 30 minutes

Description:
If you’re using dark non-stick pans, you’re in luck! These biscuits bake up beautifully on them. However, if you have lighter pans, a light coating of cooking spray will prevent sticking. This recipe yields approximately 150 small biscuits, perfect for treating your pups or sharing with fellow dog lovers. Plus, with the option to make larger biscuits, you can cater to dogs of all sizes. Whether your furry companions have mastered tricks or are professional beggars, these biscuits will surely have them begging for more!

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup margarine
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup wheat germ
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups bran flakes
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions:

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 300Β°F (150Β°C). If using light pans, lightly grease your cookie sheets. For darker non-stick pans, no greasing is necessary.

  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except for the whole wheat flour. Use a dough hook attachment if you have one, or mix by hand until well combined. Gradually add the whole wheat flour until the dough reaches a stiff consistency that can be easily handled.

  3. Form Dough Balls: Roll the dough into small balls. If you prefer larger biscuits, adjust the size accordingly. The cooking times will vary based on the size of the biscuits.

  4. Flatten and Arrange: Place the dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheets. Using the bottom of a glass or your finger, gently flatten each ball slightly.

  5. Bake: Position one cookie sheet on the lowest oven rack and another above the middle oven rack. For small biscuits, bake for 90 minutes, turning them over halfway through the baking time and switching the positions of the cookie sheets on the racks.

  6. Optional for Larger Biscuits: If making larger biscuits, follow the same baking instructions as above. Then, after the initial 90 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 225Β°F (107Β°C) and bake for an additional hour.

  7. Test for Doneness: To ensure the biscuits are fully baked, remove one from the oven and allow it to cool. Once cooled, break it in half; it should be hard and crisp, similar to a store-bought milk bone.

  8. Cool and Store: Once baked to perfection, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the cookie sheets. Once completely cooled, transfer them to an airtight container for storage.

These Maple/Bran Dog Biscuits are not only a tasty treat for your furry companions but also a wholesome snack that you can feel good about giving them. With a blend of nutritious ingredients and a touch of sweetness from the maple syrup, they’re sure to be a hit with dogs of all ages and sizes. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to delight your pups with these homemade delights! 🐾πŸ₯°
