Kelly’s Homemade Grain Free Dog Treats Recipe

Ingredients

• ½ cup chicken or beef broth
• ½ cup fat or oil of choice (bacon fat, coconut oil, olive oil, etc.)
• 1⅓ cup tapioca flour
• ⅓ cup coconut flour
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons brewers or nutritional yeast (I use THIS)
• 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal (sometimes called ground flax or milled flax)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In a small pot over medium heat, bring the chicken broth and fat/oil to a boil.
3. While that is coming to a boil, mix tapioca flour, coconut flour, sea salt, brewers yeast and flax meal in a medium bowl.
4. Once the broth/fat mixture comes to a boil, remove from heat and add to the flour bowl. Mix well.
5. On a piece of parchment paper, press out the dough into a ¼” thick rectangle. Either cut into squares with a pizza cutter or use cookie cutters in desired shape.
6. Bake for 15 minutes on a parchment lined cookie sheet. When the timer goes off, shut off the oven, crack the door and leave in the oven until cool (about 10-15 more minutes).

Notes:

*You can find cute bone shaped cookie cutters HERE 🙂
