Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

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.
