  • One of my all time favorite ways to enjoy breaded fried calamari is on top of a Caesar salad. It's the combination of crispy cool lettuce with creamy caesar dressing, lots of parmesan cheese and crunchy warm fried calamari that's so perfectly balanced. And with my homemade Caesar Dressing and Grain-Free Fried Calamari, it's guilt free! Oh, and if you are paleo, just leave off the parmesan cheese!

Lavender Chamomile Bedtime Dog Biscuits {Grain-Free}Looking for a little help getting your pooch to calm down at the end of the day? Does your fur-baby need a little coaxing to relax at bedtime? Sounds like Fido needs one of my Chamomile Lavender Bedtime Dog Biscuits!

Lavender Chamomile Bedtime Dog Biscuits {Grain-Free}

Each night, when Ray and I are ready to go into bed, our boys know that they have to go “Night-Night Pee-Pee.” As we are getting up from the living room and shutting off the lights, we’ll say to them “Come’on let’s go night-night pee-pee” and they immediately know to go to the back to to be let outside and they aren’t allow back in until they pee.


When they come back in the house they also know to sit right by the door, waiting for their treat. (we train our boys using positive reinforcement) Instead of giving them their normal reward of a Homemade Dog Treat, they get a Chamomile Lavender Bedtime Dog Biscuit to help them relax for bed.

Lavender Chamomile Bedtime Dog Biscuits {Grain-Free}

Both the chamomile and lavender help to calm and relax your dog. Not only are these perfect before bed time but also great to give before you leave them home alone, since they can help alleviate anxiety. Additionally, these Lavender Chamomile Bedtime Dog Biscuits {Grain-Free} can help to make car rides less stressful.

Basically any time your dog needs to chill, these can help!

And don’t worry, your fur baby will love the taste! Heck, even I loved the taste, I admit to eating 2 of these right out of the oven because they smelled so good 😛

Ingredients

  • 1 cup organic coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon apple sauce or 2 individual serving cups
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup bacon fat or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup dried chamomile
  • 1/4 cup dried lavender

optional

  • avocado oil spray
  • 4 small bone silicone pan

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Place silicone bone pan(s) on a cookie sheet - lightly grease with avocado oil spray.
  • Combine all ingredients, mix well. Dough will be slightly crumbly but will hold together when pressed into a ball in your hand.
  • Take a small piece of dough and form a ball. Press into the silicone bone pan. Repeat until the pan(s) are full.
  • Bake at 275 for 45 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Flip each silicone pan upside down onto a cooling rack. Allow Bedtime Biscuits to cool completely.

Notes

One recipe will make approximately 4 pans of small bones. If you do not have 4 of them work in batches.

    Hello! And thank you for your wonderful recipe! I was wondering if the dried chamomile and lavender are in powder form, or if you are referring to the dried flower, also, could I substitute the coconut flour for gluten free oats flour?
    Kind regards,
    Loriann

      It is the dried flower for both.
      I don’t use oat flour and this recipe hasn’t been tested with it.

      Hey Jenny – great question. I’m going to say this to you like as if we were hanging out in my kitchen, having a causal discussion. I understand your worry but if we dissect a bag of dog food and look at the ingredients MANY of those ‘approved’ ingredients are also questionable from a health perspective. The same with all veterinarian approved drugs, vaccines, treatments, right?

      I did a search (probably similar to what you did) and both chamomile and lavender pose NO significant risk to your beloved dog. And by significant risk what I am saying is to think of every single individual component in your or your pets diet and understand that in excess most are toxic to some degree, We all need water but too much water can kill us. We all need protein but eating only lean protein causes nutritional deficiencies. You might take a couple OCT pain relievers for a headache, but taking the whole bottle would kill you….. The same applies to herbal remedies for both humans and our beloved pets.

      Does this make sense?

      This is the same argument we hear about things like onions and garlic for dogs being dangerous. Is there the potential that your dog COULD get sick from eating dried chamomile or lavender in extremely large quantities, yes but that is also true of most other ingredients that we give to them daily.

      Our dogs LOVE to pick their own apples that fall from our apple trees. They eat the entire apple. When I mention that on social media there is a panicked segment that says that apple seeds will kill our dogs… and they are correct… if our dog ate 20+ large apples and sufficiently ground/chewed every apple seed there MIGHT be some concern… but even Hercules our black lab with an insatiable appetite only enjoys a few apples a day.

      In most cases it comes down to dose.

      What upsets me the most is when we meticulously dissect a homemade natural recipe and worry it’s toxic, but would easily give a dog a pharmaceutical drug instead that, if the same research was done, one would realize that it’s statistically more likely to harm your pet.

    Tasty and aromatic treats but they didn’t hold up well as they were super crumbly. I will continue to play with recipe to see how we can bind them better as maybe half stayed intact once cooled and removed from molds. Dogs still like them so we will use crumbles with their food

    When you say they keep in the freezer for a few months, when they defrost do they go wet?

    Would you suggest placing in the oven for 5 minutes after defrosting?

    Is there anything missing from this recipe? Like have any of the measurements changed? Just wondering because I attempted this recipe today and it turned out nothing like described … Not crumbly whatsoever, just very wet. Is the coconut oil going in melted or solid?

    Reply
    • AvatarHayley Ryczek says

      April 16, 2020 at 11:51 am

      the recipe works as written, the fat is melted. Are you certain that you used the ingredients as listed? Coconut Flour soaks up liquids and the amount in the recipe is sufficient for the liquids.

      nope. just stir them in. The lavender flowers are small and the chamomile is fragile so they break apart.
