Dog Treat Recipe- Grrranola

Grrranola

This is great for serving over food and as a travel or hiking treat. I love to eat it, too!

3 cups oats
½ cup wheat germ
½ cup unsalted raw sunflower seeds
½ cup unsalted raw peanuts, chopped
¾ cup maple syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup dried, sugar-free fruit** (no raisins, they are toxic to dogs!)

**We like to use apples, cherries, blueberries or goji berries.

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.

Mix oats, wheat germ, sunflower seeds and peanuts in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix maple syrup and vanilla. Pour the syrup mixture over the dry mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.

Spread the mixture out on a large cookie sheet and bake until golden brown- approximately 25 to 35 minutes. Watch closely because it can scorch quickly!

Remove from the oven and mix in the dried fruit. Cool completely before serving and store in an airtight container.
