Ingredients

1 ½ cups Whole Wheat Flour Provides essential carbohydrates for energy and acts as a binding agent for the biscuits.
½ cup Rolled Oats A good source of fiber, promoting healthy digestion and adding a satisfying texture. (not instant)
¼ cup Fresh Parsley Renowned for its natural breath-freshening properties and packed with vitamins A and C.
2 tablespoons Fresh Mint Leaves Another powerful natural breath freshener, mint also aids in digestion and can soothe an upset stomach.
½ cup Unsweetened Applesauce Adds moisture and natural sweetness, providing fiber and vitamins. Ensure it's free from any added sweeteners like xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
¼ cup Water Helps to create the right dough consistency. (or as needed)
1 Large Egg Acts as a binder and provides protein and essential nutrients. (lightly beaten)

Equipment

Mixing bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
Rolling Pin
Dog biscuit cutters
Wire rack

Method

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and rolled oats.
1 ½ cups Whole Wheat Flour, ½ cup Rolled Oats
Add the finely chopped fresh parsley and mint to the dry ingredients. Stir in the lightly beaten egg and unsweetened applesauce.
¼ cup Fresh Parsley, 2 tablespoons Fresh Mint Leaves, ½ cup Unsweetened Applesauce, 1 Large Egg
Gradually add water, about a tablespoon at a time, mixing until a firm, pliable dough forms. You may not need all the water, or you might need a little more depending on your flour and room humidity.
¼ cup Water
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about ¼-inch thickness. Use your favorite small dog biscuit cutters to create your desired shapes.
Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the biscuits are firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This is crucial for them to achieve their final crisp texture and to ensure they are safe to eat.

Notes

Store completely cooled biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7-10 days. For longer storage, freeze well-cooled biscuits in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2-3 months.
