Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour for gluten-free)
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup water (as needed for consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Blend the Oats: Place the rolled oats into a blender or food processor and pulse until the oats resemble coarse flour; this improves the texture and makes the biscuits easier for your dog to chew.
- Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the blended oats, whole wheat flour, chopped mint, and parsley. Add applesauce, egg, and melted coconut oil, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a rollable consistency.
- Roll and Cut: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter—bone-shaped or squares—to cut out the biscuits.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the cut treats on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool completely before serving to avoid burns. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Use oat flour instead of wheat flour to make the biscuits gluten-free.
- These treats can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
- Always check with your veterinarian before introducing new foods to your dog’s diet.
- Ensure the biscuits are cooled completely before serving to your dog.
- The fresh mint and parsley help freshen your dog’s breath naturally.
