Honey Cinnamon Dog Cookies Recipe

Introduction

These Honey Cinnamon Dog Cookies are a delicious and wholesome treat for your furry friend. Made with simple, natural ingredients like oat flour, grated carrots, and a touch of cinnamon, they’re both tasty and nutritious. Plus, they’re easy to make at home!

Ingredients

• 1 cup oat flour (or chickpea flour for gluten-free)
• 1/4 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup grated carrots
• 2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 egg (for binding)
• 1 tbsp water (if needed for dough consistency)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, and grated carrots. Stir well to mix the dry ingredients evenly. Then, add the melted coconut oil, honey, and egg.
2. Step 2: Mix everything together until a dough forms that holds together. If the dough feels too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches the right consistency.
3. Step 3: On a lightly floured surface (using oat or chickpea flour), roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut shapes like bones, circles, or hearts. If you don’t have cutters, shape small balls and flatten them with your fingers.
4. Step 4: Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until dark brown and firm to the touch.
5. Step 5: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before serving to your dog.

Tips & Variations

• Add a bit of parsley for fresh breath and extra nutrients.
• Use a cookie scoop to ensure uniform cookie sizes for even baking.
