Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, dried parsley, and finely chopped fresh mint. Stir well to evenly distribute the herbs throughout the flour mixture.
Add Wet Ingredients: Crack in the egg, pour in the melted coconut oil, and add the water or low-sodium chicken broth. Stir everything together until a stiff dough forms, ensuring all the flour is hydrated.
Roll Out Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness, making it thin enough to crisp up but sturdy enough for treats.
Cut Shapes: Use a small bone-shaped or square cookie cutter to cut the dough into individual treats. Gather any scraps, re-roll, and continue cutting shapes until all dough is used.
Bake Treats: Arrange the cut treats on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced slightly apart. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the treats are dry and lightly golden on the edges.
Crisp Up: Turn off the oven, leave the treats inside, and allow them to sit for an additional 15 minutes. This step helps the treats crisp up perfectly for dental cleaning benefits.
Cool and Store: Remove treats from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing to maintain their crunchiness.

Notes

Store treats in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
For longer storage, freeze treats for up to 3 months.
Always introduce new treats gradually to your dog’s diet.
Consult your veterinarian before introducing these treats if your dog has specific dietary restrictions or health concerns.
