Before diving into mixing ingredients, it's essential to preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This initial step is crucial because a properly heated oven ensures that your dog treats bake evenly and achieve that perfect golden-brown color. Preheating takes about 10-15 minutes, so it's a good time to gather your ingredients and set up your workspace, ensuring a smooth baking experience.

Ingredients
  

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup oats (instant or rolled)

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup peanut butter (make sure it's xylitol-free)

1/2 ripe banana, mashed

1/4 cup finely chopped carrots

1/4 cup finely chopped green beans

1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth)

A sprinkle of dried parsley (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and oats. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the applesauce, peanut butter, and mashed banana until smooth.

        Blend Ingredients: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.

          Add Vegetables: Fold in the finely chopped carrots and green beans. Mix until they are evenly distributed in the dough.

            Add Broth: Slowly add the low-sodium chicken broth a little at a time. The dough should be moist but not sticky. Adjust with more broth or flour to reach the desired consistency.

              Form Treats: Roll the dough into small balls (about the size of a tablespoon) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten each ball slightly with your palm.

                Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the treats are golden brown.

                  Cool Down: Remove the treats from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

                    Serve: Once cooled, toss the treats in a bowl with a sprinkle of dried parsley (optional) and serve as a delightful salad bowl treat for your furry friend!
