Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups ground oats *see note! // 270g
  • 1 - 10 oz. can chicken do not drain
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp. coconut oil melted and cooled

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C / Gas mark 4.
  • Grind oats, then measure out 2 1/2 cups. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine egg with melted and cooled coconut oil. Whisk to combine.
  • Add a 10 oz. can of chicken, with the liquid, to the bowl with the egg. Use a fork to break up the chunks of chicken (if necessary) until it looks shredded. Use the fork to combine the egg mixture and chicken until it looks fairly uniform.
  • Sprinkle the 2 1/2 cups of ground oats into the bowl. Using a sturdy rubber spatula, stir the mixture until it forms a soft dough.
  • Place the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper (or on a lightly floured surface) and roll out until dough is roughly 1/8" thick.
  • Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes, then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (I used a medium-sized cookie cutter. Yield may vary depending on the size of your cookie cutter)
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and baked through. Remove from oven and let cool completely on baking sheet.
  • Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

* Grind oats in food processor until fairly fine. Once oats are almost a flour consistency, remove them from the bowl of the processor and measure out 2 1/2 cups for recipe. Do not measure whole oats and then grind, the amounts will not be the same. 3 cups of whole oats yielded me the 2 1/2 cups I needed for the recipe.
Store treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Homemade treats also make an excellent gift :)
