• 1 cup fresh spinach (finely chopped)
• 1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour)
• ½ cup rolled oats
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2–4 tablespoons water (as needed for dough consistency)

1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix chopped spinach, egg, and applesauce until well combined.
3. Add flour and oats, stirring until a dough forms.
4. Gradually add water if needed to bring the dough together.
5. Roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness.
6. Use bone-shaped cookie cutters to cut out treats.
7. Place treats on the baking tray and bake for 20–25 minutes until firm.
8. Let them cool completely before serving.

Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer freshness, refrigerate them for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. Always ensure treats are fully cooled before storing to avoid moisture buildup.
