It’s a rainy Sunday, so I decided to head to the kitchen and bake some homemade dog treats for the gang here at Rochester’s Place.
After giving it some thought and dog-earing several pages in my mom’s cookbooks, I decided on an old favorite that I haven’t had in a while. It’s a homemade dog treat, so that makes it healthier, right!
It’s easy to make and delicious. Try some!
Rochester’s Peanut Butter Brownies
1 lb beef liver
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup peanut butter
Put the liver in the blender and whiz until it is almost a liquid. Then add the flour and peanut butter. Continue to blend until you have a slightly thickened mixture. It will look something like a chocolate milkshake. If it is too thick, just add a little water or beef broth to thin it slightly.
Pour the mixture into a lightly greased pan. Use any pan you like, but be sure the mixture is about an inch thick. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean. The time will vary depending on how thick you make your brownies.
Let cool and slice in small squares. These freeze well, so store some for later. Remember, they’re treats, not a meal.
Hope you enjoy!
Alternative suggestion – if you are not in the mood for brownies, make cookies instead. For this, you simply put small scoops of the mixture on a cookie sheet and bake until they are crisp. Be sure to spray the pan with a cooking spray or line it with parchment paper so the cookies don’t stick and break apart when you remove from the pan.
And, if you suddenly realize you’re out of peanut butter, that’s okay. Just leave it out. Liver brownies are delicious too.
