Homemade Cinnamon Roll Dog Treats

A cute, whimsical treat that resembles a sugary breakfast staple, minus the fat and excessive sugar. Perfect for your little tail wagging friend or to box up as a tasty gift. These do contain sugar so remember all things in moderation.
Homemade Cinnamon Roll Dog Treats Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 1 egg
- 1 egg for wash
Cinnamon Filling:
- 1 Tbsp. brown sugar (optional)
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
Icing:
- 2-3 Tbsp. Cornstarch
- 1-2 tsp. milk or water
Homemade Cinnamon Roll Dog Treats Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Stir flour and cinnamon together.
In separate bowl combine coconut oil, egg, and milk together.
Mix dry and wet ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
Flour surface well. Place dough on flour, knead 4 or 5 times. Roll dough out to a ¼” thick rectangle.
In a separate bowl combine cinnamon filling ingredients well. Sprinkle over dough. Roll dough tightly into a log. Slice dough to ½” thickness.
Place “cookies” on baking sheet. Whisk 1 egg, brush over the top of each cinnamon roll.
Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Allow to cool, store in refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
For icing:
Place cornstarch in a small Ziploc bag, add milk or water 1 tsp. at time until cornstarch has a thick soup consistency. Massage bag to combine well. Snip off a small corner of the bag, keeping it pinched so you control the flow; drizzle “icing” back and forth over the top of your cinnamon buns. Allow to dry and place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a week.
I found this recipe as odd since my vet told me to NEVER use cinnamon with my pet….I mean he didn’t say my dog specifically..as he eats everything. just curious
Hello Jetta! Yes, dogs can eat cinnamon in small amounts. It is up to the pet owner of course to determine if they feel comfortable giving their pets any spice or food, etc. There are many dog treats on the market that contain cinnamon. Thanks for stopping by! :)
Cinnamon is non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses, according to the ASPCA. “Cinnamon isn’t toxic for dogs, but nutmeg can be if consumed in large amounts,” says Dr. Ashley Hughes, DVM, at Friendship Hospital for Animals in Washington, DC

Hope this helps. I wasn’t sure myself so I googled it.
Can these be frozen? If so for how long? Making these for my grand puppies birthday.
Hi Terri! I have never tried to freeze them but I don’t see why not. Maybe test it out with one treat first to see how it holds up after thawing and then go from there. Thanks for stopping by! Happy bday to your grand puppy! :)
Ive got them in the oven right now for my beagle, Hank(:
Great! Let us know how they turn out. :)
