For easy forming – roll dough into a snake and cut into small pieces.

Roll the portions into chick-pea sized pieces and flatten with a fork.

If your cat is lactose intolerant you can swap the cheese with finely grated carrot.  Or try a different cat treat!

Ingredients

  • 1 (5 ounce) can tuna packed in water drained
  • 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese can swap with finely grated carrot if your cat can't have dairy.
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/3 cups oat flour plus extra for dusting
  • 1 tablespoon dried catnip (optional)
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup cold water

Instructions

  • You can make your own oat flour in a food processor: 1 ½ cups old fashioned oats makes about 1 1/3 cups oat flour.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In food processor mince tuna and cheddar until it's a fine texture. Add egg, oat flour, catnip and pulse together.
  • While running on low drizzle in cold water slowly until the dough pulls together into a ball.  You may not need all the water.
  • Divide dough ball into 4 smaller balls, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle a little extra flour on a work surface. Roll each ball into a long “snake”.  Use a knife to cut “snake” into small pieces.  Roll each piece into a ball (about the size of chick-pea). Flatten gently with a fork.
  • Continue until you have used all the dough.
  • Bake for about 10-15 minutes, depending on texture you would like; softer or harder.
  • Let cool completely. Store in refrigerator for a week or freeze for longer.
