Wheat Alternatives
Any existing dog treat recipe can be turned into a wheat-free one by making some substitutions. For each cup of regular, wheat based flour, you can substitute either 1¼ cups oat or rye flour. You can also substitute ¾ cup of potato flour. For a different texture, you can use ¾ cup of rice, oats, or barley in place of the one cup of wheat flour. Another option uses corn based products or even seeds and nuts. You can use ½ cup of ground nuts and seeds, arrowroot flour, or corn starch.
Special Considerations
When you use a substitution for wheat flour, you will have to make some other considerations in the recipe to ensure proper baking and consistency. Swapping out the wheat flour for any other form of flour will change the texture of the end product. To compensate, add ½ teaspoon of baking powder for every cup of flour alternative. Unlike the original recipe, the wheat-free treats tend to fall apart. To help minimize crumbling, make them smaller. This helps your treats maintain shape and texture. The treats also require longer baking times. You will want to increase the time by an additional 10 to 20 minutes depending on your oven. Using a variety of wheat-free alternatives will produce a better result. If you take time to experiment with alternatives in different combinations and bake times you will successfully create an enticing treat for your dog.
Because of the gluten in wheat flour the finished product is going to be harder. Oat flour is going to be hard, but will still break apart when chewed.
