#### Written By: VetriScience

Do you ever look at your dog and think, “How did I get so lucky?” With St. Patrick’s Day coming up, show your canine companion just how lucky you feel with this homemade dog treat recipe! These clover-shaped treats are made with healthy ingredients and are simple to make. Now, let’s whip out those oven mitts and get baking!

**Prep Time: **25 minutes

**Cook Time: **20 minutes

**Total Time: **45 minutes

##### **Ingredients:**

- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 egg
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ cup spinach leaves
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup instant oatmeal

##### **Instructions:**

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Finely chop the spinach.
3. In a large bowl, combine all the wet ingredients with a hand mixer, gradually mixing in the dry ingredients. If you don’t have a mixer, that’s okay- a little elbow grease works too!
4. Sprinkle some flour onto a clean, clear surface and roll the dough into a ball.
5. Use your hands or a rolling pin if you have one to flatten the dough.
6. Cut the dough into clover shapes using the cookie cutter.
7. Place the clovers onto a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
8. Cool on a rack before serving to your pup in celebration of St. Paddy’s Day!
