- 2 cups oat flour // ground oats
- 1/2 cup peanut butter does not contain xylitol
- 1/4 cup applesauce no sugar added
- 1/4 cup chicken or beef broth
Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C
Add ground oats/oat flour, peanut butter, applesauce and broth to a medium mixing bowl.
Using a sturdy rubber spatula or spoon, stir until mixture looks uniform. (It is a stiff dough, so you'll need a sturdy tool to mix)
Roll the dough out to a rough rectangle. (I like to roll it out between sheets of parchment paper to avoid sticking and having to use flour)
Cut the treats into one inch squares. (About the size of a cheez-it cracker. I use a pizza cutter for this - it makes quick work of it and it's easier than a knife)
Combine edge pieces and smoosh together to make one inch squares to avoid any waste.
Space the peanut butter treats out on one sheet of the parchment paper you used to roll the treats. Place the parchment on the sheet pan and bake for 14 - 16 minutes.
Cool completely before feeding to your dog.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
These 1" treats are the perfect size for larger dogs. If you have a medium-sized dog, consider cutting them in half. For a small dog, cut them into quarters.
Remember - your dog is training and will need a steady supply of treats, so they should be small to avoid over feeding.
