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
- ¼ cup cornmeal
Supplies:

Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.

- Use your hands or a rolling pin if you have one to flatten the dough.
