Zesty Zucchini Dog Treats

Preheat the oven to 177° C (350° F).  Grease a cookie sheet, your work surface, and hands with coconut oil.

In a mixing bowl, combine zucchini, raw honey, and 240 ml (1 cup) water. In a separate bowl, combine brown rice flour and whole oats. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir to combine thoroughly.

Spread the batter onto your work surface and roll or work it with your hands to about one-inch thickness. Using any shape cookie cutter, cut shapes from the batter. Feel free to poke the batter shapes with a fork for decoration if you like.  With a spatula, transfer cookies to the baking sheet.

Bake the cookies until they become slightly brown, 30-35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving to your pet. These treats will look a little rough given the whole oats and shredded zucchini. Not to worry; I’ve never known a dog to inspect these treats before inhaling them.

Double or triple the batch if you have an abundant crop and freeze the treats as you would any cookies for people. Zesty Zucchini Dog Treats make a nice gift for friends with pets, too.
