Chicken carrot oat crisps
Made in my kitchen
Chicken and carrot blended with oats, pressed into thin rounds, sprinkled with coconut and slowly dried.
My own recipe, from my video. I make this one at home. I’m still weighing each batch, so exact amounts, yield and calories are coming soon.
Treat only — not a complete diet. Homemade snacks do not replace a balanced commercial or veterinary diet. If your pet has a health condition, ask your vet before trying a new treat.
Ingredients
- Chicken breast
- Carrot
- Oats
- Desiccated coconut, for sprinkling
Exact amounts coming soon.
Steps
Blend the chicken and carrot into a paste.
Mix in the oats.
Scoop 25–30 g of the mixture per piece and roll into a ball.
Press each ball thin on the dehydrator tray.
Sprinkle with desiccated coconut.
Dry at 60°C (140°F) for 15 hours, then check doneness (see below).
Doneness check: every piece should be completely dry and firm all the way through, with no soft or moist center. Break a thick piece open to check. If any are still soft, keep drying.
This is my home method. For USDA’s general guidance on drying meat, see my dehydrator notes.
Calories: coming soon. I haven’t weighed a finished batch yet, so there is no per-piece number here.
Once you know the calories in one piece, use the Custom option in the dog calorie calculator and keep treats near 10% of daily calories.
