Breakfast Bars, Holistic Dog Food Recipe

Excerpt from “Holistic Guide for a Healthy Dog” by Wendy Volhard & Kerry Brown.

I’m a great fan of Wendy Volhard’s dog food recipe book. This book never ceases to amaze me how simple and yet healthy her recipes can easily wipe up in record time. I know this for sure, since we live in the city, and life here is like a rat-race.

Serving:

Approximately 10 to 20 Breakfast Bars depending the size that you cut.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups oats
• 1 cup buckwheat or millet, or wheat or barley
• 1 cup of whole-wheat flour
• 1 cup boiling water
• 8 tablespoons cold-pressed safflower oil
• 8 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
• 2 tablespoons raw honey
• 4 medium eggs
• 1 cup of raisins (optional)

Methods:

1. Set oven for 350 degree.
2. Put all the ingredients into a large bowl.
3. Mix with about 1 cup of boiling water.
4. Make a sticky dough.
5. Place on a well-greased baking pan and bake it for 45 minutes.
6. Take out and score into square.
7. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.

Special author’s note:

If your dog prefers his breakfast bars on the crispy side, put back into the oven when you turn it off and leave overnight to dry out more.
