Recipe Notes and Tips
- These pretzels are a treat and are not meant to replace your dogs’ meals.
- Allow the treats to fully cool before giving them to your furry friend.
- I use gluten-free flour and oats. Just like humans, dogs can be sensitive to gluten, so I like to air on the side of caution.
Simple: These simple pretzel treats are made with only 4 ingredients!!
Quick and easy: It only takes about 20 minutes to make a batch of these dog treats before they get baked in the oven.

- Combine the ingredients in a large bowl, setting aside some of the beaten egg.

- Bake until golden brown and crispy.
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
-
Using a hand whisk, beat the egg and set it aside. 1 free-range egg
-
Combine the applesauce, oat flour, and rolled oats in a large bowl. Pour all but 1 tablespoon of the egg over the mixture and set aside the remaining 1 tablespoon of egg.1 cup unsweetened applesauce,2 cups Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Oat Flour,¾ cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
-
Using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture until a dough forms. The dough should be tacky but not overly sticky. Add a bit more or less flour if necessary.
-
Take a 2-tablespoon-sized piece of dough (approximate) and roll it into a tube. It should be about 10 inches long and about the width of a pencil.
-
Take each tube and make it into a U shape, then twist the ends together and fold back to the top. This makes the pretzel shape. Pinch the ends in to make sure they’re secure.
-
Place the pretzels onto the baking tray. Brush the top of each pretzel with the remaining egg.
-
Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, until they're slightly browned and become crispy. The pretzels should be pretty hard, just like pups love them!
-
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.
-
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks
