• 1 cup oat flour (or blended rolled oats)

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)

• 2 tablespoons fresh mint, finely chopped

• 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

• 1–2 tablespoons water (as needed for dough consistency)

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a bowl, mix oat flour and chopped mint until evenly combined.

3. Add melted coconut oil and applesauce, stirring until a soft dough forms.

4. If the dough feels dry, add water one tablespoon at a time.

5. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness.

6. Cut into bone shapes using a cookie cutter and place on the baking sheet.

7. Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm.

8. Let cool completely before serving to your pup.

The first time I baked these treats, my dog sat by the oven the entire time, nose twitching with every minty breeze that escaped the kitchen. The moment they cooled, I handed one over—and the reaction was priceless. Tail wagging, happy little hops, and that focused crunch that means this is really good. Now, every time I reach for the coconut oil jar, my dog magically appears, convinced it’s treat time again. These treats have become our go-to for training days, post-walk rewards, and those moments when I just want to show a little extra love. Seeing that pure joy makes every batch worth it.
