• 1 cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1 cup oat flour (or finely blended rolled oats)

• 1 egg

• 2–3 tablespoons water (as needed)

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

2. Mix the wet ingredients. In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, melted coconut oil, egg, and cinnamon. Stir until smooth.

3. Add the flour. Gradually mix in the oat flour until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time.

4. Roll the dough. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it to about ½ cm (¼ inch) thickness.

5. Cut the treats. Use a bone-shaped cookie cutter or small round cutter.

6. Bake. Place treats on the baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes until lightly golden.

7. Cool completely before serving to your dog.
