Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cup oat flour about 8 oz or 227 g
  • ½ cup freeze dried strawberry break into small pieces
  • 1 cup chopped strawberry yield ½ cup pureed, 113 g
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ cup whole wheat flour 34 g
  • Extra flour for rolling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Ground approximately 8 oz of rolled oats in a food processor until coarse flour forms. This will yield just about 2 cups. Transfer this to a mixing bowl and mix it with freeze-dried strawberries. Set aside. A high speed blender works too or simply use store bought oat flour.

  • Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, chop and measure 1 cup, puree in a food processor, this will yield approximately ½ cup. Add egg and honey, and process until a smooth mixture forms. You can also mix everything in a mixing bowl if you're not using a food processor here.

  • Add oat flour with freeze dried strawberries to the mixture and process until a dough forms. If making by hand, just use a spatula or mixing spoon to combine. The process photos below is from my Apple Dog Treats recipe but the idea/process is the same.

  • At this point, the dough will be slightly wet. Incorporate whole wheat flour, a little at a time up to ¼ cup, until the dough is dry enough to handle.

  • Sprinkle some more flour on a cutting board or your countertop and turn the dough out, knead and shape into a disk.

  • Roll dough out to about ¼" thick. Cut out shapes with cookie cutter large enough for your dog, and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet about ½” apart. The process photos below is from my Apple Dog Treats recipe but the idea/process is the same.

  • Reshape scraps and roll out again to ¼” thick and continue cutting out treats until finished. Dip the cookie cutter in some flour each time you cut so the cutter doesn’t get sticky.
  • Bake for 50 minutes to an hour, flip treats upside down and rotate pan half way through baking time so they can brown evenly.

Notes

  • I used a 1.5” heart-shaped cookie cutter and a 2” bone-shaped cookie cutter for this recipe and it yielded 43 treats all together.
  • If making larger treats, you will need to bake them longer to dry them out properly to get crunchy treats.
  • After turning off the oven, you can leave the treats in there with the door cracked open for a few hours to give them more time to dry out. This will also help them last longer at room temp.
  • These treats will last about 1 - 2 weeks at room temperature, up to 2 months in the refrigerator and up to 8 months in the freezer.
