Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the oats to a blender or food processor and process until they form a fine flour.
- Transfer the oat flour to a mixing bowl.
- Add the melted coconut oil, eggs, and unsweetened applesauce to the bowl.
- Stir until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms and all ingredients are well combined.
- Scoop small spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, or gently roll the dough and cut shapes with a cookie cutter.
- Shape treats into coin-sized pieces for small dogs or slightly larger bites for big dogs, keeping them fairly thin for even baking.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
- Remove from the oven and let the treats cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Once fully cooled, transfer the treats to an airtight container for storage.
Notes
- Use plain, unsweetened applesauce with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners.
- Never use xylitol in any ingredient; it is toxic to dogs.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 12 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the cooled treats in a freezer bag for up to 2 months and thaw briefly before serving.
