What ingredients make these dog snacks crunchy?

The combination of whole wheat flour, rolled oats, and dry milk powder creates a firm and crunchy texture after baking.

Can I substitute any ingredients for dietary needs?

Yes, replacing whole wheat flour with oat or coconut flour offers a grain-free option while maintaining the texture.

Gradually adding water helps achieve a dough that rolls out smoothly without being too dry or sticky.

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes until the treats turn golden and firm.

Store cooled treats in an airtight container for up to one week or freeze for longer preservation up to three months.
