18 Dog Treats
1 cup grated zucchini (excess moisture squeezed out)
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
2½ cups oat flour (or blended rolled oats)
1 egg
1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted)
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, dog-safe amount)
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the grated zucchini and applesauce until well combined.
Add the egg and melted coconut oil, stirring until smooth.
Gradually mix in the oat flour and cinnamon until a firm, rollable dough forms.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness.
Cut into bone shapes or small squares and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the treats are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Let cool completely before serving to your dog.
Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. Always ensure treats are fully cooled before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
Small dogs: 1–2 small treats per day
Medium dogs: 2–3 treats per day
Large dogs: 3–4 treats per day
Treats should complement your dog’s regular diet and be given in moderation.
