Servings: 30 treats
Calories: 46kcal
Ingredients
- 1 small apple about 1 cup chopped, ~4 oz or 113 g
- ¼ cup peanut butter 60 g
- 1 large egg
- 2 cup oat flour ~8 oz or 227 g
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Extra oat flour or regular flour for rolling
- Extra peanut butter for drizzling optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- If you’re making oat flour from rolled oats, use about 2 ½ cups of rolled oats and ground it in a food processor. This will yield just a smidge over 2 cups of oat flour, enough to use in the recipe and a bit extra for rolling.
- In the same food processor, without washing, add the chopped apple and puree. Add peanut butter and egg, and puree again until smooth.
- Add 2 cups of oat flour and the ground cinnamon, process until a dough forms.
- Flour the counter or a large cutting board, scoop the dough out of the food processor and roll to about 1/4” thick. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Reroll the scraps and continue cutting until the dough is finished.
- Place cookies on an unlined baking sheet between 1/2” to 1” apart. Bake for 20 minutes. Rotate pan, flip cookies, reduce oven temperature to 325°F and bake for another 20 - 30 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Optional peanut butter drizzle: melt 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter in the microwave for 30 seconds, drizzle with a spoon over dog treats.
Notes
- Cut the treats into shapes with cookie cutters or simply slice them into squares and other geometric shapes with your knife.
- A 2” bone shape cookie cutter will yield about 30 treats, and a 1 ½” square cutter will yield about 48 treats.
- Store treats in an airtight container for up to two weeks. You can also refrigerate to keep them longer, up to 2 months. And they will last for 8 months in the freezer.
- Add peanut butter drizzle to treats you are planning to give to your dogs right away or soon. If you’re planning to pack them away in a jar, I recommend not adding the drizzle because it can get messy.
