Description
A simple and healthy recipe for making apple cranberry dog dental sticks that your furry friend will love!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (unsweetened and unsalted)
- 1/4 cup water (more if needed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, mix the applesauce, peanut butter, egg, and water until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until it holds together.
- Fold in the chopped dried cranberries.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into desired shapes or sticks.
- Place the cut-out shapes onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the sticks are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Allow the dental sticks to cool completely on a wire rack before serving them to your dog.
Notes
- This recipe makes about 24 dental sticks, depending on the size of your cutouts.
- For a softer treat, reduce the baking time by 5-10 minutes.
- You can substitute the dried cranberries with other dog-safe fruits like blueberries or pumpkin puree for a different flavor.
