Let's get to making some granola bars for dogs
We're actually going to be making some of these for ourselves as well
But not today not this video are you a little ingredient thief. Now. Memphis is like I can still do that, too
We know you can we know you can and Shelby's like "there's fruits on the table
I want nothing to do with that!" First: preheat the oven to 325
Okay, so this is actually gonna be a pretty easy recipe we've already preheat our oven
We are going to need two and a half cups of
you can either use
rolled oats or rolled
Barley flakes. I'm actually using rolled barley flakes. Shelby is on a new diet
So I have to be a little bit stricter with what I can give her. So we're using rolled barley flakes
But like I said, you can use either then we will need 1/2 1/2 cups of puffed rice
Which I'm just using Rice Krispies
Again this is a treat. It's not a meal replacement
So the girls can have some Rice Krispies now and then. you want to Rice Kirspies Shelby oh she's gonna fall asleep over there here
hey Shelby Have a Rice Krispies
Well, she likes Rice Krispies
We are going to add a half a cup of unsweetened coconut flakes and
then one cup of dried fruits now, I'm using a mixture of
blueberries and
unsweetened
Cranberries, they're unsweetened blueberries as well
So they're just normal little dried blueberries
Which I know Shelby won't eat any of these this is gonna be a treat you like blueberries. This is gonna be a treat
I don't think Shelby's gonna eat
Okay, you can see her down there already
She's like I cannot believe you are making these treats with all these fruits in them. Can you guys even see her?
I can't tell them the camera. I think Kira stepped in front of her
Well, she has a look of disgust and then we're gonna just gently mix all of these dry ingredients together
Okay, so now that we have all of our dry ingredients mixed together we're gonna mix together our wet ingredients
So basically, I'm sure you've had granola bars before this is kind of a base of your granola bars
You can use this recipe and make it for yourself!
You really could eat this if you want to it's gonna be pretty good
The only thing I'm not really adding a lot of is sugar but I am using maple
Syrup and honey, and both of those are a little bit sweet
Again treat not a meal replacement. The dogs aren't gonna just Maul these down so
These would actually be pretty good for people as well
So the next thing we're going to need is a half a cup of honey. I'm using Michigan honey, because we're from Michigan
Would you like to try some honey?
It's stiff. Yeah, I know a sticky stuff here is like whoa. Let me try it a little bit little bit, honey
is it sticky this sticky stuff, huh? How about you? Shelby you want to try some honey?
It's like "you're making treats with fruit. I don't want try none of it!" And then we're gonna need 1/2 a cup of maple syrup
what I know these are gonna be a little sweeter than you're used to and
Then the last ingredient is about a third of a cup of peanut butter
Make sure you're using peanut butter that does not contain xylitol
You guys should all know that by now, but every time I make a treat video, you're all like "don't use the peanut butter
That's the bad stuff in it!!!" No, we know
Says wait, there's peanut butter. This is for Shelby. She didn't get none of the rest of it. Y'all go away
Let Shelby lick that spoon Oh big lick from Shelby.
She says "I like peanut butter guys, I do like that"
now we are gonna take all of the stickiness and we're gonna pop this in the microwave for
a minute and a half hour
basically
We want to warm this up so we can stir it all together so that we can then pour it over top of this
So that's what we're gonna do next
While that's heating up real quick
I should have said this at the beginning but we're going to use a 9 by 13 pan with some parchment paper
And we're going kinda to squish it down
And then we're gonna spray it so stuff doesn't stick to it if I could spray
So this mixture doesn't really need to be hot or boiling or anything like that
You just want it to kind of mix together. You don't want to cook it too high because you don't want everything to burn
So now we're going to take this mixture and we're going to pour it into here now
We're gonna kinda just stir this up try to get that stuff all over the place
We're gonna bring this over here, take this pan and we're gonna pour all this stuff in here and not make a giant mess
Maybe we'll make a giant mess. I'm sure will make a giant mess. It's kind of what we do
Okay, so now we're gonna flatten this out into this pan
We're gonna kind of want to get it pretty i'll do it with a spatula first.
I Don't do it my hands a little bit. Okay, maybe I should have used oil and not the Bakey stuff that I have. Oh
Wait I can fix this! hey want some!
See how to fix this. All right go for it
So now we have our granola bars in the pan. We're gonna put these in the oven for
probably around
25 to 30 minutes before we take them up
The reason I let the parchment paper kind of hanging over the end is when they're all done and cooled
We'll be able to just pull this right out here and then cut them and I'm gonna cut them into squares not bars
I'm gonna cut them into little pieces because as I said, these are gonna be a treat for them
It doesn't need to be they don't need to be huge. We're gonna make little ones
Make sure it's all even look I got it in my hand again. Of course I did
That's what we do. All right, so we're gonna go put this in the oven and see how they turn out
What do you think Shelby's like I'm out you made stuff with fruit in it. I don't want stuff with fruit in it today
That's okay. These two are still here
Into the oven at 325 it goes
Alright, so that's what they look like
We let them cool completely before we cut them into pieces and I think we have some interested dogs
All three of them came in here as I was cutting them
So I think they may be interested to see what they taste like even Shelby seems a little interested
What do you think Shelby you wanna try it? We'll see. We'll see Shelby the real test
I know you'll eat anything and you'll eat anything
All right, let's let them try em
So for those of you wondering this is actually the size I cut them into for my dogs
so just a little like what one and a half inch by one and a half inch squares and they're not super thick and that
Is the size that we will cut them all into and take them with us to go camping
Hey wait, your turn, wait your turn
All right. So here's the real test. Will Shelby eat it? Well, you think
Yeah, I'll set it down so you can check it out she's like "guys there's like fruits and vegetables in there!"
There's no vegetables in it. Just fruit. Nope. Shelby says no
Let's forget it. I'm out. Memphis says guys I will literally eat anything
You will eat it! is it crunchy?
Is it good?
Memphis approves Memphis says "I will eat it all" I approve
Sit good girl you go
What do you think
good stuff
Guys it's amazing. you like it it's a win It's greatest you like it. It's a win so we got two dogs
Say yes one dog says no
We'll call that a two-thirds win
Good stuff, right go run around now. I know that's what you want
Now that you've seen everybody else eat it now you might try it
No, all right, hold on well she's thinking about it we'll let her take her time maybe that's all she needs
Don't bother her we had to put the puppy outside. So the puppy don't bother her
She'll take her time and slowly munch on it. Yeah, she wasn't thinking about it. She'll lick it first
All right, you lick it first and tell us what you think later
Well, we gave her a little bit of a long time and she actually did eat it
I brought Memphis out here and she decided to eat it. So maybe she did like it
She just didn't like it at first so
We're gonna take those treats up camping with us again. If you guys want to check out our camping videos
