Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 25-30 minutes | Total Time: 50 minutes | Makes: 15-20 biscuits
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour for grain-sensitive dogs)
- 1 tsp turmeric powder (organic is best for maximum potency)
- ½ tsp ground ginger (fresh ground provides more volatile oils)
- ¼ cup virgin coconut oil, melted (essential for spice absorption)
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth (no onions, garlic, or excessive salt)
- 1 large egg (binds everything into perfect therapeutic biscuits)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—turmeric stains everything it touches.
- In a large bowl, mix whole wheat flour, turmeric, and ground ginger thoroughly to distribute spices evenly for consistent therapeutic benefits.
- Stir in melted coconut oil, chicken broth, and egg until a cohesive dough forms that smells amazing and holds together well.
- Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness—this ensures even baking and consistent dosing of beneficial compounds.
- Use cookie cutters to create biscuit shapes and place on prepared baking sheet with space between for even browning.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy—fully cooked biscuits have the best flavor and integrated spice benefits.
- Let cool completely before serving (if your wellness-seeking pup can wait)—proper cooling ensures safe handling and ideal crunchy texture.
Notes:
- Always use high-quality, fresh spices for maximum therapeutic benefits
- Amber prefers these at room temperature when the aroma is most appealing
- The golden color indicates the turmeric is properly incorporated and active
Storage Tips:
- Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks
- The spices actually help preserve them naturally
- Keep away from light to preserve turmeric potency
- These maintain their therapeutic benefits throughout storage
What Makes This Recipe Special:
