Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 3 additional tbsp rolled oats for rolling the dough
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350° F / 180º C and line your baking tray with parchment paper.
- Put the oats in the blender and blend until you get an oat-flour texture. Take about 3 tablespoons out of the blender and save for later.
- Add the turmeric to the flour and blend until mixed.
- Add the egg and pumpkin puree to the blender and blend until you get a doughy mixture, similar to a cookie dough.
- Flour your surface with the oat flour and shape your dough into a ball.
- Roll out the dough until it a bit thinner than ½ inch thick and cut out shapes with a cookie cutter. You can make smaller o bigger sized treats according to your dog's size, cutting it in squares with a knife will also work.
- Re-roll out the scraps and repeat or cut them into small pieces to make training treat bites.
- Place the treats on a parchment paper-lined baking tray, they don't spread much so they can be quite close together.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Once the treats look dry and crunchy but not too dark, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
- Let your puppy enjoy the treats over the next days! Store them in an air-tight jar or zip-lock bag. They can also be frozen if your puppy is not going to have them all in a few days.
