Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, xylitol-free peanut butter, and the egg. Whisk until these ingredients are well incorporated and form a smooth, cohesive mixture.1 cup Unsweetened Applesauce, 1/4 cup Peanut Butter (xylitol-free and unsweetened), 1 Egg
- Gradually add the whole wheat flour and rolled oats to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky. If it feels too wet, add a tablespoon more flour at a time.2 cups Whole Wheat Flour, 1/2 cup Rolled Oats (uncooked)
- Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon and mix it into the dough until evenly distributed. This ensures each treat has that warm, comforting aroma and flavor.1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- Drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch between each treat. You can also lightly flatten them with the back of your spoon or your fingers. For smaller treats, use about a tablespoon of dough.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the treats are firm to the touch. The exact baking time will depend on the size and thickness of your treats.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the treats cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This is crucial to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Notes
When prepared according to instructions, these treats are safe for dogs. Avoid common toxic ingredients like xylitol, onions, garlic, chocolate, grapes, and raisins. Consult your veterinarian before introducing new foods.
