Apple Pie Style Crunchy Star Biscuits for Dogs With Homemade Oat Texture
Ingredients:
* 2 cups (240 g) whole wheat flour (plus extra for rolling)
* 1 medium apple (170 g, peeled, cored, and finely grated)
* 1/2 cup (120 g) unsweetened applesauce (plain)
* 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
* 2 tbsp (30 ml) coconut oil (melted, small amount)
* 1/2 cup (45 g) rolled oats (plain, unsweetened)
* 1/2 tsp (1 g) cinnamon (optional, dog-safe small amount)
Supplements:
* 1 tsp (5 g) ground flaxseed (optional, for fiber support)
* If none, write: None
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine grated apple, applesauce, egg, and melted coconut oil.
3. Add whole wheat flour, rolled oats, optional cinnamon, and optional flaxseed. Mix until a firm dough forms.
4. Roll the dough onto a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.
5. Cut into star-shaped biscuits to match the pictured treats.
6. Arrange biscuits on the prepared baking tray, leaving a little space between each piece.
7. Bake for 22–26 minutes until lightly golden and firm around the edges.
8. Let cool completely before serving so the treats become crunchy.
Storage:
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Freeze for up to 3 months. Allow frozen treats to thaw before serving.
Benefits:
* Apples provide natural fiber and a mild sweetness without added sugars.
* Rolled oats help create a hearty crunchy texture while supporting digestion.
* A small amount of cinnamon adds warm apple-pie flavor while remaining dog-safe.
