Ingredients & Their Health Benefits:

1. 1 1/2 cups oat flour
   • Digestive Support: Oat flour is rich in soluble fiber, which helps regulate digestion and maintain stable blood sugar levels. Perfect for dogs with sensitive stomachs!
2. 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
   • Energy Boost: Oats provide essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, including vitamin B and iron, which support overall energy and immune health.
3. 1/2 cup almond butter
   • Healthy Fats & Protein: Almond butter is loaded with vitamin E, promoting a shiny coat and healthy skin. It’s also a great source of plant-based protein, supporting muscle development.
4. 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
   • Natural Sweetness: Applesauce adds moisture and a touch of sweetness without the harmful sugars found in processed treats. It’s also packed with vitamin C and fiber for digestive health.
5. 1 egg
   • Complete Protein: Eggs are a fantastic source of protein and amino acids, which are essential for your dog’s muscle health, coat condition, and overall vitality.

How to Make Almond Butter Dog Treats:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. In a medium bowl, combine oat flour and old-fashioned oats.
3. In a separate large bowl, mix the almond butter, unsweetened applesauce, and egg until well combined.
4. Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir to form a dough.
5. Shape the dough: Pinch off a tablespoon-sized portion, roll it into a ball, and flatten it to about ½-inch thick on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the treats are firm and golden brown. Let them cool completely before serving to your dog.
