Cuisine: International
Course: Dog Treats
Servings: 30(1.5 inch) larger treats (90 3/4 inch treats)
Blend 2 cups of the oats in a food processor to a coarse grind. Place in a medium mixing bowl.
3 cups rolled oats
Blend the peaches in the food processor and add to the bowl. It can still be chunky, or smooth, as preferred just to mix in.
1 cup cubed peaches
Add the remaining 1 cup of oats, cinnamon, and yogurt to the bowl. Mix to combine.
⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Press the mixture together. It should hold together without being overly wet. If too dry, add a Tablespoon of yogurt (or water) at a time until it combines well. If too wet, add a touch more oats as needed.
Roll the mixture out on a cutting board or clean counter to approximately 1/4 inch thick, or as thick as desired.
Cut out treats in your desired shapes and sizes, and place each on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. They can go very close together as they will not expand. (see note 3).
Bake for 15 minutes (10 minutes for small treats).
Crispy Treats: Turn the oven off and leave the treats in the oven, up to 2 hours, checking every 30 minutes. Remove when they are crisp.
Soft Treats: Remove from the oven after the 15 minutes of cooking and let cool.
Store in a jar or container up to one week in the refrigerator for soft treats, or up to 1 month at room temperature for hard treats.
Notes
Either fresh or frozen peaches will work great! You can leave the skins on, but remove pits. Size of the peach cubes does not really matter except for a volume perspective. Adjust with more dry or wet ingredients as needed to bring them together.
You can swap out the ground oats for whole wheat flour, if preferred. But this adds gluten (if it matters).
Using cookie cutters is fun because they are cute. But many times I will simply roll out the mixture and use a pizza cutter to cut rows of squares just because it is faster and easier.
This recipe makes approximately 30 treats 1.5 inch square or 90 .5 inch square treats.
