Well it was a fun and minty week learning about Peppermint! What did you think of the oil? What were some of your favourite uses? I would love to hear your thoughts on it.
This week, I have one bonus recipe for you that doesn’t really fall into any of our normal categories. But this recipe is much loved by all the dogs in my family – and by their owners. If your dogs are anything like mine, their breath can get pretty stinky. But these treats are easy to make, safe for the pups, and helps to reduce their bad breath!
Bye-Bye Bad Breath Biscuits
Ingredients:
- 2 cups flour (we use coconut flour for our dog as she has allergies)
- 1/2 cup oats
- 2 ripe bananas
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3-6 drops doTERRA peppermint oil (depending on the size of the dog)
- 1 drop doTERRA cinnamon oil
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix dry ingredients together in a small mixing bowl.
- In a larger mixing bowl, combine together bananas, eggs, peanut butter, and coconut oil. Mix well.
- Add essential oils to the wet mixture. If you have a small dog or puppy you will want to use only 3-4 drops of doTERRA peppermint oil, for larger dogs it is safe to use up to 6 drops doTERRA peppermint oil.
- Mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir well until combined.
- Scoop into balls (depending on the size of the dog) and place on a cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
- Makes about 12 cookies, depending on the size of the balls that you make.
Well, thats all for peppermint!
See you tomorrow to talk about another one of my favourite essential oils!
