Ingredients:

• Vegetable oil cooking spray
• 2 cups whole wheat flour, plus extra for dusting
• 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter, softened to room temperature
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Bone-shaped cookie cutter

Instructions:

1. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with vegetable oil spray or line it with a silicone mat.
2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, oats, and baking powder. Add the chicken broth and peanut butter, mixing until a crumbly dough forms. Gather and press into a ball.
3. On a floured surface, knead the dough gently for about 30 seconds until smooth. Roll into a circle roughly 10 inches in diameter and 1/2-inch thick. Cut out bone shapes with the cookie cutter and place on the prepared baking sheet. Gather scraps, reform, and cut additional bones.
4. Sprinkle the cut bones with Parmesan cheese.
5. Bake for approximately 20 minutes until light golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
