A man’s soul can be judged by the way he treats his dog, or so Charles Doran believes. And if that’s the case, then my soul must be in good standing because my dogs come before pretty much everything and everyone in my life. I live for my two furry weirdos, so it’s no surprise that I love making new treats for them to enjoy, especially on their birthdays. For Miller’s 4th birthday this year, I created adorable Pup-Cakes. But for Charlie’s 2nd birthday, I decided to go all out and create something inspired by my favorite NCAA coach, the legendary Nick Saban. That’s right, I made Puppy Oatmeal Cream Pies!
Part 1: How to Make Your Puppy Oatmeal Cream Pies
Making these delightful treats is a two-part process. First, you’ll need to make the oatmeal “cookies,” and then you’ll prepare the cream filling.
To make the oatmeal cookies, start by combining oatmeal and flour in a bowl. Toss the ingredients together before adding in your applesauce, cinnamon, and honey. Mix everything together until it forms a wet batter. Next, scoop out 2-3 tablespoons worth of batter into your hand and form 8 oatmeal balls. Be sure to flatten each ball into a cookie shape using your palm or a spoon. These cookies won’t spread in the oven, so make sure they are in the desired shape before baking them for 15 minutes.
Part 2: How to Make Your Oatmeal Cream Filling
While your cookies are baking, you can prepare the cream filling. Combine softened cream cheese, honey, and cinnamon in a bowl until well incorporated. Place the filling in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it.
Once the cookies have cooled, it’s time to assemble your Puppy Oatmeal Cream Pies. Take one cookie and spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the cream filling onto the inside. Spread the filling out to cover the entire cookie. Repeat this process with three more cookies, then place the remaining four cookies on top to create a sandwich. And just like that, you have created Puppy Oatmeal Cream Pies that are sure to make your furry friend’s birthday extra special!
Miller, my “calmer for the camera” dog, couldn’t contain his excitement for the treats. Charlie, on the other hand, devoured them too quickly for me to capture the moment. These cookie dog treats were not only fun to make but also a big hit with my dogs. They even fought over the excess filling that spilled onto the floor!
