Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups Whole Wheat Flour Provides essential carbohydrates for energy.
  • 0.5 cup Rolled Oats (uncooked) A good source of fiber, aiding in digestion and promoting a feeling of fullness.
  • 0.25 cup Honey A natural sweetener that also boasts antimicrobial properties and can help soothe a sore throat. Ensure it's pure, raw honey for maximum benefits.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon A warming spice that not only adds flavor but also has anti-inflammatory properties and can help regulate blood sugar levels.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda Acts as a leavening agent to give the cookies a pleasant texture.
  • 0.5 cup Water To bring the dough together.
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil (melted) A healthy fat source that can contribute to a shiny coat and healthy skin, and aid in nutrient absorption.

Equipment

  • - Oven
  • - Baking Sheet
  • - Parchment Paper
  • Medium Bowl
  • Small Bowl
  • Spoon or Rubber Spatula
  • Rolling Pin
  • Dog-bone cookie cutters
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and baking soda until well combined.
    1.5 cups Whole Wheat Flour, 0.5 cup Rolled Oats (uncooked), 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda
  3. In a separate small bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, honey, and ½ cup of water. Stir until smooth.
    1 tablespoon Coconut Oil (melted), 0.25 cup Honey, 0.5 cup Water
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon or rubber spatula until a stiff dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time. If it's too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour.
  5. Lightly flour a clean surface. Roll the dough out to about ¼-inch thickness. Use your favorite dog-bone cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Alternatively, you can roll the dough into small balls and flatten them with your hand.
  6. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack. They will harden as they cool.

Notes

For small dogs (under 20 lbs): Offer 1-2 small cookies per day. For medium dogs (20-50 lbs): Offer 2-3 small to medium cookies per day. For large dogs (over 50 lbs): Offer 3-4 medium to large cookies per day. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days or freeze for up to 2-3 months. Introduce new treats slowly and monitor for adverse reactions. Consult your veterinarian for personalized feeding recommendations.
