No Bake Peanut Butter Oat Balls

It had been far too long since I had made homemade treats for my pups when I got the urge to do so the other night. The thing was, it was getting late, I had consumed a few beers and I didn't have all of the energy or ingredients required for cookies, biscuits, carob brownies, or anything else. After a quick google search, I found a quick and easy recipe for no bake treats for which I had everything required. Peanut butter, water, oats and cinnamon. Seriously, the easiest treats ever. The pups have been going absolutely nuts for them. So much so that it has been ridiculously difficult to get a picture of them eating them because they jump around like fish out of water when the second they see or smell them! I did manage to get a few though.

My bed normally has sheets on it but it's laundry night!

NO BAKE PEANUT BUTTER OAT BALLS

¾ cup peanut butter
1 ¼ cup oats
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup water

1. Whisk water, cinnamon, and pb together until thoroughly  mixed. (I used warm water to help loosen up the natural pb I keep in the fridge)
2. Add oats a 1/4 of a cup or so at a time until mixed in. 
3. Roll mixture into balls (I use varying sizes since I have a S, M, and L dog)
4. Put on foil or parchment and refrigerate for about an hour and transfer to a plastic or glass container. You can even freeze them if you'd like. 
5. Give to your pups and let them enjoy!

My Vegan Mutts

I am a single 20 something year old woman (okay, I am almost 30) with 3 vegan dogs. I often joke that I am a "crazy dog lady," or, at the very least, will become one once I enter spinsterhood, but I accept and embrace that as my destiny.

If I had a bigger place I would surely have more dogs, but for now, 3 is it. I have a very active family, social, and love life but my little ragtag group of mutts is all I really need and want at the end of the day.

I will get around to writing a post on each dog separately, but for now here they are:


This is what my bed generally looks like if I don't claim my spot early


They will also steal the couch.
