Ingredients

Dog Treats

  • 2 cups Uncooked Oatmeal
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 cup Melted Coconut Oil
  • ½ cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger

Icing

  • ½ cup Tapioca Starch
  • ½ cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Beet Powder for red or Spirulina Powder for green

Instructions

Dog Treats

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a blender, pulse oatmeal until it becomes has flour consistency.
  • Place the oatmeal flour, whole wheat flour, egg, coconut oil, water, cinnamon, and ginger in a mixing bowl.
  • Use a mixer to combine all the ingredients until well blended. You may need to use your hands to get everything well combined.
  • Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to about ¼ to ½-inch thickness, according to your preference.
  • Using a cookie cutter, cut out the dog treats and place them on a non-stick baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Place the baked treats on a wire rack to cool completely.

Icing

  • Place the icing ingredients in a bowl.
  • Stir or whisk until well blended.
  • Use a piping bag and tip to decorate the treats with the icing.

Notes

Do not use nutmeg in these treats because it is toxic to dogs.
You can substitute the tapioca starch with cornstarch, rice flour, or potato flour.
Instead of using red beet powder or spirulina powder to color the icing, you may use:
  • Strawberries or cherry juice for red
  • Spinach or parsley for green
  • Natural food coloring (make sure it is safe for dogs)
You may have to play around with the consistency based on which option you choose to use for coloring the icing.
