Nutty Bacon Dog Treats

Thanks to my friends at Dog Hill Kitchen for this delicious recipe for treats.  Tell your mom to make them for you as soon as possible!



Ingredients
3 slices of bacon, diced
1 egg
1/3 cup creamy natural peanut butter (or Sunbutter)
1 tablespoon maple syrup (bacon + maple seemed like a good idea)
3 tablespoons water
1/2 cup soy flour
1/2 whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup wheat germ

Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Fry the diced bacon until crispy. With a slotted spoon, remove the crispy bacon but save the fat. Allow the fat to cool slightly (2-5 minutes)
Add the egg, peanut butter, maple syrup and water to the bacon fat and mix thoroughly.
Add in the flours and wheat germ and mix until combined. Stir in the crispy bacon pieces.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4" thick. Cut into desired shapes.
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes (for 1" diameter shapes) until lightly browned.
Cool and serve!

Makes 6 dozen 1" diameter treats
