Just like in humans, some dogs have gluten sensitivity and gluten-free treats are a nice way to give them some love. But there are some gluten-free grains like corn, quinoa, rice and Amaranth Millet. Gluten is a protein that is found in some cereal grains and wheat. To make this grain-free, take out the rolled oats completely or substitute with 1 sweet potato, and use coconut flour instead of rice flour. We realize that these are considered grains and are gluten-free, so we’ve changed it to a gluten-free recipe. *Editor’s Note: Originally, we had posted this recipe as a grain-free do treat recipe, but had included gluten-free oats and rice flour in the recipe. I just used a teaspoon for the dog pad and a dropper for the dog toes. The dough wasn’t stiff enough to use cookie cutters, but I still had fun with the design. Softly flatten with the balls of your hands and place on the cookie sheets.Bake for 30 minutes.Store treats in an airtight container in the fridge or the freezer. Using a tablespoon, scoop mixture and roll dough into balls in your hands. If the flour mixture sticks to the bowl, turn off the processor and use a spatula to get it off the sides.The dough should be soft, but not wet, making it easy to work with. Add this mixture slowly to the food processor until a dough ball forms. In a separate bowl, lightly beat egg and add the oil and water. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.Using a food processor, add quinoa and buckwheat and mix well. It really was a no-brainer to use it in my Quinoa Grain-Free Dog Treat Recipe (well that, and it does have quinoa as the title as the recipe!). Quinoa has been linked to everything from preventing heart disease and cancer, as well as an antioxidant and can reduce the risk of diabetes. And this is a people food that’s equally super for dogs. I love quinoa – I eat this super seed at least once a week because it’s grain and gluten free and it’s high in protein. But Oscar liked them and that’s always my indicator of a job well done! I found the dough tough to work with and the smell was a bit strange at first – it had a bit of a savory scent. This was my first time working with chickpea flour. Cool treats on cooling rack store in fridge or freezer in airtight container. Bake the cookies for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.Transfer the cookies to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roll the dough to a 1/2- to 1/4-inch thickness and cut out the cookies using a cookie cutter of choice. Warning: This is going to be some tough dough! Set parchment paper on the counter to roll the dough out onto.Add the wet and dry ingredients together until the dough comes together. In a large bowl, mix the flour and flax seed.In a small bowl, mix banana, peanut butter and egg until completely combined and smooth.And this recipe has the extra benefit of banana, peanut butter and flax seed meal. Because it’s a bean, it’s not considered a grain – which is good news for dogs who can’t digest gluten. This type of flour is full of flavor, dietary fiber and protein. This time around, I’m pleased to present my Chickpea Grain-Free Dog Treat Recipe. And I’m also realizing that Oscar is acquiring a taste for them! If your dog can’t digest grains, there’s no reason why he can’t enjoy a tasty, homemade biscuit. I’m learning all about grain-free recipes this month.
