Buttermilk Substitutes

To create a substitute for buttermilk, you’ll need milk and any one of the following: Sour Cream, Plain Yogurt, White Vinegar, or Lemon Juice.

4 tablespoons milk + enough sour cream to make a cup.
2 tablespoons milk + enough plain yogurt to make a cup.
1 tablespoon white vinegar + enough milk to make a cup. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
1 tablespoon lemon juice + enough milk to make a cup. Let sit for 10 minutes. It’ll look curdled. Stir to combine.

Freezing Pancakes

Pancakes can easily be frozen and enjoyed for breakfast another day!

How To Freeze Pancakes:

Place some parchment paper on a baking sheet and line the pancakes on top without touching each other.
Place another sheet of parchment on top and freeze for a few hours.
Remove them from the freezer and stack them up in a labeled freezer bag.

Reheating Frozen Pancakes

-Oven Method: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and top with frozen pancakes. Add foil on top of the pancakes and bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

-Microwave Method: Heat a stack of frozen pancakes in the microwave for approximately 1 ½- 2 minutes.

How Long are Frozen Pancakes Good for

Frozen pancakes are best if used within 1-2 months.

Ingredients

1¼ cups all-purpose flour sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 large egg beatened
1¼ cups buttermilk
2 Tablespoons butter melted
3 Tablespoons sugar

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well-combined.
In a medium bowl, combine the egg and buttermilk. Pour into the flour mixture and stir. Stir in the melted butter and sugar.
Heat a griddle or large, nonstick skillet to medium heat. Coat with butter or nonstick cooking spray. (I prefer butter.)
Drop 1/3 cup of batter onto the heated surface. Once the top begins to bubble, wait an additional 30 seconds or so, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until each side is golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, reapplying more butter or nonstick spray in between each pancake. You may need to decrease the heat to medium-low about halfway through.
Serve with syrup or fresh fruit and enjoy!

Peanut Butter Bacon Dog Treats

Stephanie — Fri, 20 Jun 2014 12:05:14 +0000

These homemade dog treats are made with peanut butter, oats, and a hint of bacon! These make great gift ideas and are a fun baking activity for adults and kids!

Check out all of my Homemade Dog Treats!

How rewarding is it to make little dog treats for a little pup in your life?! I’ve been making these treats for years, both for my own dog and for my friend’s dogs. They have everything your little pup could want.

Let’s get into some questions that you may have about the ingredients!

Best Kind of Peanut Butter for dogs:

All-natural peanut butter without added salt or sugar is best for dogs.
Do not use light or sugar-free peanut butter, as those may have artificial sweeteners (such as xylitol) which is toxic to dogs.
I like to use Teddy Smooth All-Natural Peanut Butter, which can also commonly be found in grocery stores.

Best Kind of Flour for Dogs

If possible, I recommend using Almond flour, because it’s healthy and easy to find at the grocery store.

Healthier Flour Alternatives for Dog Treats:

Grain: Barley, Buckwheat, Millet, Oat, Pea, Quinoa, Rice, Sorghum

Non-Grain: Chickpea, Coconut, Hazelnut, Lentil, Potato

Can Dogs Have Milk?

Just like people, some dogs can digest milk easily and with no issues. Other dogs have trouble, or may be lactose intolerant. This resource goes into greater detail about that.
In short, be cautious about introducing new foods to your dog for the first time, and always consult a vet when in doubt.

Dog Treats as Gifts:

These treats make fantastic gift ideas! These are the dog treat molds that I used in this recipe.
These are even smaller treat molds and are perfect for giving in these little canisters!
Treat-making and gift-giving is also a great activity for little ones, (with your assistance of course!)

Ingredients

1 cup natural creamy peanut butter *See notes
3/4 cup nonfat milk
1 large egg or 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 cups Almond flour *See notes
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/3 cup oats (either whole-rolled or quick oats are fine)
4 strips cooked bacon roughly chopped

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325F degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
In a large bowl, gently mix the peanut butter, milk, and egg together with a large spoon or spatula. Switch to a whisk to make sure no lumps remain. Add the flour and baking powder. You may need to turn the dough out onto the counter and use your hands to work in the flour. Mix in the oats and chopped bacon. The dough is extremely thick and heavy.
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into 1/4" thickness. Cut into shapes or insert into these dog treat molds (I love these)! Arrange on the baking sheets. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until very lightly browned on the bottom. Remove from the oven, and flip the treats to bake the other side for 10-12 more minutes.
Allow to cool completely before serving to your pup. Store at room temperature or in the
refrigerator for up to 1 week. Treats freeze well, up to 2 months.
