Nose Prints

Recipe: Homemade Baked Dog Donuts!
Just 5 Basic Ingredients for PAWSOME K9 Donuts!
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Spray a donut pan with cooking spray and set aside.
» 1 cup flour
» 1 cup oats
» 1/3 cup coconut oil
» 1/2 cup peanut butter (xylitol-free please!)
» 2 eggs
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix with a spoon or your hands (super fun for kids!) until a dough forms.
Use your hands to press the dough into the donut pan. Fill each donut cavity and press firmly to ensure everything sticks together (it won't rise, so you should make sure each space is tightly packed).
Bake for approximately 14 minutes or until completely cooked. Allow to cool, then carefully remove the donuts from the pan. Now you're ready to decorate them with “frosting.”
» Greek Yogurt
» Bacon Bits
Set out a small bowl of plain Greek yogurt and another of bacon bits. Dip each donut carefully in the yogurt and then sprinkle with bacon bits.
Place your finished donuts in the freezer for a few moments to harden the yogurt. You can also store them in the refrigerator, but the yogurt may get a little sticky.
