Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup oat flour (I used rolled oats and finely ground them in the food processor)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter (I used no-stir natural)
- 1/2 cup (4 oz.) unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1/4-1/2 cup hot water
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl (I used a stand mixer, but you don't have to), combine the wheat flour, oat flour, and baking powder.
- Add the peanut butter, apple sauce, and egg, and stir to combine.
- Add 1/4 cup of the hot water and mix until combined.
- Add the remainder of the hot water a little bit at a time, until the dough reaches the right consistency. It should be pliable, but not sticky. If it becomes sticky, add a little bit more wheat flour.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out about 1/4 of an inch thick.
- Use a cookie cutter to cut out individual cookies, and poke a couple of holes in each one with a fork. This will keep them from puffing up too much when they are baking.
- Bake on ungreased cookie sheets. I baked the larger dog treats for about 20 minutes, and the smaller ones for 10 minutes.
- Cool completely.
