Miniature Schnauzer Healthy Treat Recipes
Schnauzer Max, Rosabella, Thomas and Annabella's Healthy Liver Bread Recipe
The Schnauzer Friends Schroyal Family, Max, Rosabella, Thomas and Annabella's favourite treat in all the world is Liver Bread. I like it because I know exactly what is in it, and it has no preservatives. It is really quick and easy to make. I store any extra in my freezer and use as and when required. It is great for treats, for training, as a snack and to crumble on top of their food. You can also use the same recipe to make a birthday cake or muffins.
Ingredients
Puree in Blender:
Dry ingredients:
Optional Additions:
Method
Recipe Variations
To make doggy muffins or a cake: Place mixture in a greased muffin or cake tin. Bake at 180 degrees celsius for about 20/25 minutes (check cooked through). Decorate with biltong, biltong powder, low fat smooth cream cheese or peanut butter. You can even stick doggy biscuits on top and add a candle for birthday celebrations!
Ingredients
Puree in Blender:
- 500g raw liver (Any good ox/chicken liver. I find that the ox liver has a better result. A tip is to ask the butcher to already chop it up for you)
- 3 eggs
Dry ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 ½ cups whole-wheat flour
- 1 tea spoon bicarbonate/baking soda
- You can substitute some of the flour with potato or rice flour if you don't want too much wheat. You can also use all flour if you prefer.
Optional Additions:
- Green onion seasoning or chicken spice etc. for flavour.
- Grated raw baby marrow, broccoli and/or cooked mashed sweet potato, butternut or pumpkin. These really give the Liver Bread a lovely consistency and makes it even more healthy. We recommend you add these!
Method
- In a large bowl, add the blended wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until mixed.
- Then add the vegetables/spices and stir into the mixture.
- Place mixture in a greased flat baking tray.
- Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for about 12 minutes. (Check cooked through)
- Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
- I freeze what I don't need and take out and defrost when required.
