Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter (natural unsweetened)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 2 cups oat flour

Instructions

Dough

  • Place the applesauce, peanut butter, egg, and coconut oil in a bowl.
  • Combine the wet ingredients with a mixer or by hand.
  • Add the oat flour and combine well. The dough will be sticky.

Method 1 - Cutouts for Crunchy

  • Place the dough in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
  • Roll the dough out onto a flat surface until about 1/3-inch thick.
  • Using your favorite cookie cutter, cut out as many shapes as possible. If the dough is still too sticky to roll, add a little more oat flour.
  • Gather the scraps, re-roll, and cut until all the dough is used up.
  • Place the cutouts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Method 2 - Molds for Soft and Chewy

  • Press the dough into silicone molds.
  • Place the molds on a baking sheet.

Baking

  • Heat the oven to 350°F.
  • Bake the biscuits for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Transfer the baked biscuits to a wire rack. Cool to room temperature.

Notes

Do not use peanut butter that contains xylitol, a sweetener toxic to dogs.
You can make oat flour by putting uncooked old-fashioned oats in a blender or food processor and blending until it reaches flour consistency.
The number of biscuits can vary depending on the size of your cookie cutter or mold. I used a 4-inch dog bone cookie cutter which yielded 8 dog biscuits.
