Baking Healthy Treats For The Westies

 A member of WESTIES HEALTH -- FROM EARS TO TAIL

group page on Facebook posted the {below} treat recipe so 

I decided to give it a try.

 The ingredients are simple.  My sister found the coconut flour for

me at Wegman's which is the most expensive ingredient.

 This is not rocket science - measure and dump into the bowl.

A lot of people commented on FB that they are not bakers.

I think they feared everything had to be measured exactly 

and mixed just right {like *say* for a cake}.

 Just mix until well blended & forms a ball of dough.

 I sprinkled a little unsweetened coconut on a top of a few to

see how they would bake and they came out just fine.  Now if

you wanted you could roll the dough out and use a bone

cookie cutter or even a small round glass to cut them out.

I opted for the simple drop and press with a fork technique.

*The Recipe*

1 Cup Coconut Flour

1/2 Cup Smooth Peanut Butter

1/2 Cup Mashed Blueberries

1/2 Cup Mashed Banana

4 Eggs

{Next Time: I feel 3 eggs would make them firmer}

1/3 Cup Warm Water

***

Note of Additions to the basic recipe: 

Dried Cranberries

 Unsweetened Shredded Coconut

***

Add all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

If dry add a little more warm water.

Bake on a parchment lined baking sheet

350 degrees ... 20-22 minutes

Makes: approx. 50 small size treat

***

Storage:  Since these came out as a semi-moist treat I would only

keep out as many as you need for a day or two.  

Although the recipe didn't say anything about freezing

I placed 6 treats per plastic bag for the freezer.

 Yummy ... those treats smell so good I can't wait to taste them!
