Ingredients
Scale
Herbs
- 1 cup fresh parsley
- ½ cup fresh mint leaves
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Dry Ingredients
- 1½ cups oat flour
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready to bake the treats evenly and perfectly.
- Chop the Parsley and Mint: Finely chop the fresh parsley and mint leaves to release their natural flavors and beneficial oils, which will help freshen your dog’s breath.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, water, and coconut oil until fully combined to create a smooth base for the dough.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the oat flour along with the chopped parsley and mint, mixing thoroughly until a firm dough forms that can be shaped without sticking.
- Shape the Treats: Roll the dough into small balls or flatten into biscuit shapes, depending on your dog’s preference and size, making uniform pieces for even baking.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the shaped treats onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the treats are firm and golden brown around the edges.
- Cool Completely: Allow the treats to cool fully on a wire rack before serving to your dog, ensuring they are safe to eat and have the right texture for chewing.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs for maximum flavor and dental benefits.
- Oat flour can be substituted with whole wheat flour if your dog is not sensitive to gluten.
- Store treats in an airtight container for up to two weeks or freeze for longer storage.
- Always supervise your dog when giving new treats to check for any allergies or sensitivities.
- Adjust treat size according to your dog’s size and chewing ability.
