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.
- For best results, store baked treats in the refrigerator or freezer.
