🥥Ingredients of Homemade Dog Dental Treats
-⅓ cup plain yogurt
-1 egg, slightly beaten (optional)
-3 tbsp coconut oil, softened (optional)
-⅓ cup chicken broth, divided in two
-⅓ cup chopped fresh mint
-¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
-1 cup chickpea flour, divided in two
-½ cup oats
-1 tsp ground turmeric
🍪Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pour yogurt, egg, and coconut oil into a medium-sized bowl and mash them together. Mix in ½ of the chicken broth, mint, and parsley. Add ½ of the chickpea flour, oats, and turmeric and mix until well combined.
- Mix in the remaining broth, and then the remaining chickpea flour. Knead the mixture until it is well incorporated. You can now either use a cookie cutter to cut out your cookie shapes or pipe into sticks on the parchment paper (you can cut the corner out of a resealable plastic ziplock and use this like a piping bag).
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes, until crunchy.
Note - you can substitute water for broth, but be sure to add something for flavour such as a topper, peanut butter, or some meat. You can also substitute 4 tsp dried parsley.
