Liver Dog Treats
with Cheese

Liver is a fantastic addition to your homemade dog treat recipes. However, we recommend you review our tips on buying and using liver before you bake up a batch of these liver dog treats.
Tips: If you do not have oat flour you can make your own by grinding rolled oats in your food processor. You will need 1 1/4 cup of oats to make 1 cup of oat flour. Grind until it is the consistency of flour. If you don't have brown rice flour, you can substitute a few different flours. You can use barley, potato, millet or spelt flour using the same measurements.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb. raw beef liver (you can substitute chicken liver)
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 1/2 cup brown rice flour
- 1 cup low fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder or granulated garlic (not garlic salt)
- 1 egg
Additional flour for rolling
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350° F
- Puree liver in a food processor. It's ok if there are a few very small pieces.
- Pour the liver into a bowl.
- Stir in the flours, cheese, garlic and egg until thoroughly combined.
- Roll the dough out to a 1/4" thickness.
- Cut with dog cookie cutters or a pizza cutter. OR, drop spoonfuls for dog cookies. You can flatten them with a glass bottom dipped in flour. Or you can leave them in a ball shape.
- Place on a ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden in color.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack.
Storing: These liver dog treats with cheese will last for 1 week in the refrigerator. They will be good for 6 months in the freezer.

Our first attempt at homemade dog treats and ..... My dog LOVED these treats!!!
She loved these dog treats I cook them for a little shorter time so they weren't so hard and she liked the softer ones better.
