Liver is a fantastic addition to your homemade dog treat recipes. However, we recommend you review our tips on buying and using liver before you bake up a batch of these liver dog treats.

Tips: If you do not have oat flour you can make your own by grinding rolled oats in your food processor. You will need 1 1/4 cup of oats to make 1 cup of oat flour. Grind until it is the consistency of flour. If you don't have brown rice flour, you can substitute a few different flours. You can use barley, potato, millet or spelt flour using the same measurements.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb. raw beef liver (you can substitute chicken liver)
• 1 cup oat flour
• 1 1/2 cup brown rice flour
• 1 cup low fat cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 egg

Additional flour for rolling

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350° F
2. Puree liver in a food processor. It's ok if there are a few very small pieces.
3. Pour the liver into a bowl.
4. Stir in the flours, cheese and egg until thoroughly combined.
5. Roll the dough out to a 1/4" thickness.
6. Cut with dog cookie cutters or a pizza cutter. OR, drop spoonfuls for dog cookies. You can flatten them with a glass bottom dipped in flour. Or you can leave them in a ball shape.
7. Place on a ungreased baking sheet.
8. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden in color.
9. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

Storing: These liver dog treats with cheese will last for 1 week in the refrigerator. They will be good for 6 months in the freezer.
