Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce and the egg until well combined.0.5 cup Unsweetened Applesauce (xylitol-free), 1 Large Egg
- Stir in the finely chopped fresh parsley and mint leaves into the wet mixture.2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (finely chopped), 1 tablespoon Fresh Mint Leaves (finely chopped)
- Gradually add the whole wheat flour (or oat flour) to the wet ingredients, mixing until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, add water, one teaspoon at a time, until it’s no longer crumbly.1 cup Whole Wheat Flour (or Oat Flour for grain-sensitive pups)
- Lightly flour a clean surface. Roll out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness. Using small cookie cutters or a knife, cut out your desired treat shapes.
- Place the shaped treats onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the treats are firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let the Parsley Mint Teeth Cleaner Dog Treats cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing. This ensures they are firm and won't crumble.
Notes
Store cooled treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days. For longer storage, freeze treats in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2-3 months. Thaw frozen treats at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Optionally, gently reheat in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F / 95°C) for a few minutes or in a microwave for a few seconds until just slightly warm.
