Treat your furry friend to these wholesome and delicious Cinnamon Roll Overs! This dog-friendly twist on the classic cinnamon roll is made with simple, pup-safe ingredients like whole wheat flour, honey, and cinnamon. Perfect for special occasions or just because your dog deserves a little extra love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk (or water for lactose-intolerant pups)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans (optional; omit for dogs with nut allergies)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven & Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, stir together the milk (or water), egg, and canola oil. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the dough tender.
  4. Roll Out Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough into a rectangle measuring approximately 9×12 inches. Aim for an even thickness of about ¼ inch.
  5. Add Filling: Drizzle honey evenly over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle on the cinnamon and chopped nuts (if using).
  6. Roll & Slice: Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it closed. Using a sharp knife dipped in water to prevent sticking, slice the log into half-inch-thick rounds.
  7. Bake: Arrange the slices cut-side down on your prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, checking at the 12-minute mark to ensure they don’t overbake. The treats should be golden brown and firm to the touch.
  8. Cool Completely: Allow the treats to cool completely on a wire rack before serving them to your dog.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

Serve these treats as-is or alongside fresh apple slices for an extra-special snack time.

Tips & Tricks:

  • If the dough feels sticky while rolling, lightly dust it with additional flour or chill it for 10 minutes before rolling out.
  • For smaller dogs, slice thinner rounds or roll the dough thinner before adding filling.
  • Use a pizza cutter if you find slicing with a knife tricky.

Storage & Reheating:

Store baked treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For longer storage, freeze them in an airtight container for up to three months. To serve from frozen, thaw at room temperature or reheat briefly in a low-temperature oven (250°F) until just warm.
