Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (125g) whole wheat flour (or oat flour for a gluten-free option)
- ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened applesauce or pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, parsley, and mint.
- In a separate bowl, mix the applesauce (or pumpkin puree), melted coconut oil, and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Roll and Cut:
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness. Use a bone-shaped cookie cutter or any small cutter to shape the treats.
- Place the cutouts on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the treats are firm and lightly golden.
- Cool and Store:
- Let the treats cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Always check with your vet to ensure these ingredients are safe for your pet.
- For extra crunch (and teeth-cleaning power), turn off the oven after baking and leave the treats inside to dry out completely.
- Adjust the size of the treats based on your pet’s size.
