These are Trigger’s second favorite trick training treat. They are soft and just a little bit sweet. I make them out of human grade ingredients and snack on them when we are training
Oat & Apple Chews
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup quick oats
- ½ cup flour
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180C).
Grease a 9 inch by 9 inch (22cm x 22cm) glass pan or baking tray.
Mix all the ingredients until the applesauce is evenly distributed, then spread the mixture evenly in the pan.
Bake for 30 minutes or until the batter firms and browns.
Allow the mixture to cool for 5 to 10 minutes and then cut it into squares. Or wait till the mixture cools completely and you can cut it into tiny squares with kitchen scissors.
Put the squares in an airtight container for storage.

These look yummy, and low sugar – yay! I’m always looking for healthy homemade treats, thank you! But what are the little orange bits in the treats in the photo?
Whoops! The picture was for ‘Carrot Chews’. (I’ve changed it now). There is a free eBook with lots of healthy, simple treat ideas in the Horse Tricks Academy. (Module 3 on Rewards). Enjoy!
