Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/3 cup margarine or butter
• 1 cup boiling beef broth
• 3/4 cup cornmeal
• 2 teaspoons white sugar

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 egg, beaten (or 2 eggs to make treats softer for older dogs)
• 3 cups whole wheat flour

Directions
Combine rolled oats, margarine/butter, and boiling beef broth in a large bowl. Let stand and soften for 10 minutes. Thoroughly stir in cornmeal, sugar, bouillon, milk, peanut butter, and egg. Mix in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough comes together. Knead dough together so that it looks like this:

Bake 35 to 45 minutes at 325 degrees, until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool:
