Green Dog Treats for St. Patrick's Day
- 1 cup brown rice flour
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup applesauce (unsweetened)
- 3 Tbsp. peanut butter powder
- 2 Tbsp. arrowroot starch
- 2 Tbsp. flax (ground)
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. water
- 2-3 capsules chlorophyll
- .5 – 1 tsp. turmeric
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or non-stick baking mat.
- In medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
- Add wet ingredients to dry and combine until dough is smooth.
- Wrap dough in plastic wrap and rest 5 minutes.
- Roll dough to ¼-inch thickness.
- Using cookie cutter, cut shapes and place on lined cookie sheet.
- Bake 20-30 minutes or until firm to touch and bottoms are golden brown. (Note: For softer treats, bake for less time.)
- Transfer to wire rack and let cool completely.
- For crunchy treats, keep stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. These treats will last 4-6 weeks. Refrigerate for longer shelf-life.
- For soft treats, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These can also be frozen for up to 3 months. If your pooch doesn’t have teeth issues, there’s no reason you can’t give her a frozen treat.
- For a darker green, add another chlorophyll capsule.
- Blending turmeric with chlorophyll produces a bright Kelly green. Add more or reduce until you have the desired color.
