Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped or mashed strawberries, applesauce, and melted coconut oil and stir until well blended.
- Add the oat flour to the bowl and stir until a soft dough forms, adding a little extra oat flour if the dough is very sticky.
- Stir in the ground chia seeds or flaxseed and the xylitol-free peanut butter until evenly combined.
- Lightly dust a clean work surface or sheet of parchment with oat flour, then turn the dough out onto the surface.
- Gently knead the dough 3 to 4 times until smooth and cohesive.
- Roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness or pinch off small pieces and roll them into pea-size balls.
- Place the shaped dough pieces on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the treats are set and the bottoms are lightly golden.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the treats cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
Notes
- Always use xylitol-free peanut butter; xylitol is toxic to dogs.
- Store cooled treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator if your kitchen is warm.
- For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 2 months and thaw a small portion as needed.
- These small, soft nibbles work well as training rewards, snuffle mat fillers, or kibble toppers.
