It’s no secret that I absolutely love baking for Oscar! I never buy shop bought treats for him because I know I can make him treats that are tastier and much healthier too. I love trying out new recipes and Oscar is happy to let me know whether he likes them or not…
This week I decided to make him pretzels. Everyone loves pretzels right? So I made Oscar a healthy batch that he can enjoy, and he loved them!
Oat and Apple pretzels
Ingredients
2 cups oat flour
1/4 cup oats
Squirt of honey
1 egg
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
Directions
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees. Add all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl and mix until a dough forms. If it too sticky to work with then add a little more flour. Take two small pieces of the dough and roll them into a tube the size of a pencil. Make a U shape with each tube, twist the ends together and fold back to form the pretzel shape. Gently place the pretzels onto a greased baking tray and lightly brush them with egg wash. Bake for 25 minutes or until cooked and golden brown. Let the pretzels cool before allowing you pup to enjoy. Store them in an airtight container.
Flavour variants
You can make your pretzels any flavour to suit your furry loves pallet! Here are some great combinations your pup is sure to love:

Sweet Potato pretzels
Ingredients
200g sweet potato
1 cup wholewheat flour
1 tablespoon oats
1 egg
Directions
Peel the sweet potato and chop it into cubes. Place it in a saucepan of boiling water and let it cook for 20 minutes or until soft and cooked. Drain the sweet potato and allow it to cool, then puree it either in a food processor or mash it using a potato masher. Add the flour, oats and egg and mix it together until it forms a dough. If it’s too sticky, add a little extra flour. Take two small pieces of the dough and roll them into a tube the size of a pencil. Make a U shape with each tube, twist the ends together and fold back to form the pretzel shape. Gently place the pretzels onto a greased baking tray and lightly brush them with egg wash. Bake for 25 minutes or until cooked and golden brown. Allow them to cool and store in an airtight container. Your pooch will love these.
Enjoy baking for your furry love! He will know that you have taken time out to make him something special…
