Homemade Chicken Broth Dog Biscuits – Tasty & Crunchy Treats Recipe

Introduction

These homemade chicken broth dog biscuits are tasty, crunchy treats made with simple, wholesome ingredients. Quick to prepare and full of flavor your dog will love, they are a perfect way to show your furry friend some extra love.

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour (about 240 g) or oat flour (240 g) for wheat-sensitive dogs
• ½ cup rolled oats (about 45 g)
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup (120 ml) low-sodium chicken broth (no onion, garlic, or harmful seasonings)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and rolled oats, stirring to blend.
3. Step 3: Add the egg, olive oil, and chicken broth to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a combined dough.
4. Step 4: Check the dough consistency. If it’s too dry and crumbly, add chicken broth 1 tablespoon at a time (up to 2 more tablespoons). If it’s too sticky, sprinkle in flour 1 tablespoon at a time until workable.
5. Step 5: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1–2 minutes until smooth.
6. Step 6: Roll the dough out to about ¼ inch (6 mm) thickness.
7. Step 7: Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut the dough into shapes. Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
8. Step 8: Bake for 15–18 minutes for soft biscuits or 20–25 minutes for crunchy ones, until golden and firm.
9. Step 9: Remove biscuits from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For dogs with wheat sensitivity, substitute whole wheat flour with oat flour for a gentle alternative.

• Try adding a pinch of turmeric or parsley for extra health benefits and taste.

• ½ cup rolled oats (about 45 g)

Wet Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• ½ cup (120 ml) low-sodium chicken broth (no onion, garlic, or harmful seasonings)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 cups whole wheat flour and ½ cup rolled oats, stirring to blend evenly.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Crack in 1 large egg, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, then pour ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a combined dough.
4. Adjust Dough Consistency: The dough should be firm and slightly dry but not sticky. If too dry and crumbly, add broth 1 tablespoon at a time up to 2 more tablespoons until it holds. If too wet or sticky, sprinkle in flour 1 tablespoon at a time until workable.
5. Knead Lightly: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1 to 2 minutes until the dough is smooth.
6. Roll Out Dough: Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to about ¼ inch (6 mm) thickness for even baking.
7. Cut Shapes: Use cookie cutters like bones or circles, or cut squares with a knife. Place the cut biscuits on the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
8. Bake Biscuits: For soft biscuits, bake 15 to 18 minutes until the centers set. For crunchy biscuits, bake 20 to 25 minutes until golden and firm to the touch.
9. Cool Completely: Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack and allow them to cool fully, which helps them crisp up and ensures they are safe for your dog’s teeth.
