Homemade Parmesan & Spinach Dog Treats

Ingredients:

3 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup frozen pureed spinach
1 cup beef or chicken broth-low sodium
½ cup parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp. parsley
1 egg, large
1 Tbsp. coconut oil

Recipe makes about 18-20 standard cookie cutter Christmas trees

How to make these tasty Parmesan & Spinch Dog Treats:

Preheat oven to 350°

Line a cookie sheet with foil, parchment paper, or a silpat mat.

Thaw spinach completely.

You can use spinach as is and recipe will be just fine, I chose to further puree it in my chopper to make it a finer texture.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl until well mixed.

Flip dough out onto a well floured surface and knead for 1 minute.

Roll out to ¼ “ thickness and cut into desired shapes.

Bake for 11-14 minutes until golden brown- I pull mine out at about 12 minutes because my pups prefer a slightly softer texture.

Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days in the refrigerator or 2 months in the freezer.
