Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 cup oat flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (use low-sodium if your dog acts fancy)
• ¼ cup real bacon bits (no artificial smoky weirdness, please)
• 1 egg
• ⅓ cup warm water
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Optional: 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt for extra chewiness
• Optional: A sprinkle of dried parsley for fresh breath (your dog won’t mind)

Use pumpkin puree—not pie filling—if you ever add it to future variations, unless your dog wants a surprise sugar rush. Just saying.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven

Preheat to 350°F (175°C). This gives it enough time to get toasty while you prep the dough. Your dog may start pacing like you’re baking a five-star meal.

2. Mix the dry ingredients

Combine the oat flour, whole wheat flour, cheese, and bacon bits in one bowl. Stir well so everything is evenly coated. Your dog will probably sniff the bowl like a tiny food inspector.

3. Add the wet ingredients

Crack in the egg, then add warm water and olive oil. Mix until the dough starts to come together. If it feels too dry, add a splash more water—it should feel soft but not sticky.

4. Knead and roll

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about a minute. Roll it out to about ¼-inch thickness. If your dog watches you like you’re kneading gold, don’t crack under the pressure.

5. Cut into fun shapes

Use a bone-shaped cutter or whatever you have lying around (circles work great). Place each piece on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make them small-ish so your dog doesn’t inhale them whole.

6. Bake the biscuits

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the biscuits feel firm. Your kitchen will smell amazing. Your dog will assume it’s all for them. They’re right.

7. Cool completely

Let the treats cool on a wire rack. Don’t skip this step unless you want your dog to burn their tongue and judge you forever.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Don’t replace bacon with chocolate—unless you want to meet your vet at 2 a.m.
• Don’t use salted, greasy bacon bits from questionable jars. Your dog’s tummy will file a complaint.
• Don’t skip cooling time; hot treats = drama.
• Don’t add onions or garlic even if you think a “flavor boost” sounds gourmet.
• Don’t make biscuits too thick or they’ll bake unevenly and turn into doggy hockey pucks.

Alternatives & Substitutions

Want to tweak the recipe? Go for it.

• Swap whole wheat flour for rice flour if your pup is sensitive.
• Switch bacon bits for cooked turkey if you want something lighter.
• Use mozzarella or mild cheese instead of cheddar for low-sodium needs.
• Add mashed sweet potato for extra fiber and sweetness.
• If your dog acts bougie, go ahead and use salmon—lol, some dogs live better than we do.
• Sub olive oil with coconut oil for a softer texture and a hint of sweetness.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Can I store these treats for later?

Absolutely—unless your dog figures out how to open the fridge. Store them in an airtight container for up to a week or refrigerate for two.

Can I freeze these biscuits?

Yes! Freeze them for up to two months. Thaw at room temperature before serving so your dog doesn’t feel like they’re chewing on a brick.

Can I add more cheese?

You can, but keep sodium in check. Dogs love cheese, but moderation keeps their tummies happy.

Do I have to use oat flour?

Not at all. Oat flour is gentle on digestion, but you can use rice, barley, or just more whole wheat if your dog handles it well.

Will my dog like these even if they’re picky?

Most likely yes—bacon and cheese are basically dog magic. IMO, this recipe works on 99% of dogs.

Are bacon bits safe for dogs?

Yes, real bacon bits in moderation are fine. Avoid the fake neon-red ones that look like they came from a science experiment.
