The original sardine oatcake recipe
This is personally my favourite recipe on my blog, partly cause it was the first original treat I made myself that worked out. If you need super high-value treats – you’ve just found them! Your dog will love these oatcakes; they are tasty, healthy, smell great, and just so easy to make! And from preparation to cooking time they take less than one hour!
When I was thinking about a new recipe I could come up with I thought about making a type of oat based doggy flapjack then found that oatcakes were even easier to make and the perfect treat recipe to use fish!
I’ve taken these out with me several times when I’ve been dog walking and they are great for getting the attention of a dog who’s mind wanders when out for a walk!
Very simple to make, all you need is 6 ingredients and a biscuit cutter.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tins of sardines in oil (2x120g)
- 60g (1/3 cup) of wholemeal flour
- 300g (1 1/3 cups) of oats
- 150ml Chicken broth (homemade broth is best)
- 1 egg
METHOD
Make around 150ml (1/4 pint) of broth or stock. Chicken will do. If using cubes get the low salt ones.
Add the two tins of sardines to a bowl (including the oil)!
Mash the sardines thoroughly with a fork!
Add an egg
Add the 300g (10oz) of oats and 60g (2oz) of wholemeal flour
Add a little of broth to bowl. To start with try adding 1/3 of your broth.
Mix ingredients with your hands and make a dough ball! Too dry? Add more broth. Too wet? Add some flour or oatmeal.
Roll out and cut out biscuits!
Place dog biscuits on baking tray and place into a preheated oven at 190°C (370°F) for around 20-25 mins.
Yum, that’s them cooked and they smell great!
