Description
Cranberry & Chicken Easter Day Egg Bites for Dogs are nutritious, homemade treats packed with lean protein, fiber, and antioxidants. These festive egg-shaped bites are easy to make and perfect for celebrating Easter with your furry friend.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries (unsweetened)
- 1 cup oats
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup unsweetened peanut butter (xylitol-free)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Boil or bake the chicken breast until fully cooked. Let it cool and shred into small pieces.
- In a food processor or mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, oats, dried cranberries, egg, peanut butter, coconut oil, and cinnamon (if using).
- Mix until well combined, forming a sticky, moldable dough.
- Using your hands, shape tablespoon-sized portions into egg shapes. If using an egg mold, press the mixture firmly into it.
- Place shaped treats on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- For a soft and chewy texture, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For a crunchier treat, bake at 325°F (163°C) for 15-18 minutes until lightly golden.
- Let the treats cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw before serving.
- For a grain-free option, substitute oats with coconut flour or almond flour.
- If the dough is too sticky, chill it for 10-15 minutes before shaping.
- For a fun Easter treat, hide these egg bites around the yard for your dog to find.
