• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)

• 1½ cups oat flour (or finely ground oats)

• 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce

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

2. In a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries until smooth.

3. In a mixing bowl, combine strawberry puree, melted coconut oil, applesauce, and egg. Stir well.

4. Gradually mix in oat flour until a soft dough forms.

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

6. Cut into bone shapes or small squares.

7. Place treats on prepared baking sheet.

8. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.

9. Let cool completely before serving.

Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For longer storage, refrigerate up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw before serving.

• Small dogs: 1–2 treats per day

• Medium dogs: 2–3 treats per day

• Large dogs: 3–4 treats per day

Always adjust based on your dog’s size and activity level.

The first time I made these treats, my dog sat in front of the oven like he was guarding a priceless treasure. The moment the timer went off, his tail started wagging so hard his whole body wiggled with excitement. I gave him one warm-from-the-oven treat (after cooling, of course), and he gently took it, carried it to his favorite spot, and savored every bite.

Now, whenever I pull out strawberries and coconut oil, he magically appears at my feet, eyes bright and hopeful. These treats have become our little bonding ritual—simple moments, happy paws, and a whole lot of love in every batch.
