Calories: 23kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour + extra for rolling out
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp. coconut oil melted and cooled
- 1 small apple peeled and grated
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp. dried curly parsley - or use fresh curly parsley * see note
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F / 177°C / Gas mark 4.
- Grind oats in a food processor until almost a fine flour. It's ok if there are small pieces.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine ground oats, flour, egg, coconut oil, grated apple, grated cheddar, parsley and water.
- Stir to combine until it comes together. Use your hands to work it into a uniform dough - do not add more water.
- Lightly dust the countertop with flour, then turn out dough and press into a rough rectangle.
- Flour the top of the dough and a rolling pin (dowel), then roll out dough to about 1/8" thick.
- Use a 2-inch cookie cutter to cut treats out, then place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 18 - 20 minutes. Cool completely before feeding to your dog.
Notes
For EXTRA crispy treats, bake for an additional 5 - 8 minutes, then turn off oven and crack the door open. Let the treats dry out in the oven as it cools for about 20 minutes.
Parsley must be CURLY parsley, other varieties can be harmful.
