Homemade Catnip Biscuits Recipe

Whether you own a Cat or not, it comes to no surprise when somebody says “my Cat absolutely went crazy for Cat-nip!” Up on Pet Shop racks used to be only toys with Cat-nip stuffed inside, creating a very stimulating toy for our feline friends. Now, things have gone a little further than just toys, you can find Cat-nip in treats and goodies.

 

Catnip Time!

 But if you are kind of sceptical about store-bought treats (possible harmful additives...Nah), hop on the band wagon with countless of owners whom chose to make their own Pet treats. However, all pawrents should take note that treats are not meant to substitute meals, so always feed in moderation, to be extremely sure, check in with your trusted Veterinarian for your Cat’s dietary tips. Got a little free time for the weekends? Try an easy cheesy recipe like this one out too!

Tuna And Catnip Cat Treat Croutons

This is a recipe as found on The Cookie Rookie, written by Becky Hardin. All photos and recipe detail credits go to her and her Cat, Dill. It calls for Tuna as a main ingredient, and other ingredients which are very easily obtainable in our local supermarkets! We have no doubt your Kitties are going to love this treat ☺

Ingredients

5 oz bag or canned (approximately 141 grams) Tuna, drained

1 cup Coconut flour

(for stickier, thicker consistency, you can use whole Wheat flour or Oat flour. Those flours might work better if you want to roll these into balls. If making the crouton shape, the Coconut flour works just fine ☺)

1 tablespoon extra light Olive Oil

1 tablespoon dried Catnip

1 Egg

1-2 tablespoons Water

(add more water if you want the dough a bit stickier)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F (Approximately 176 Degree Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

2. Combine drained Tuna, Egg, Coconut flour, Water, Olive oil and Catnip. Blend in a food processor until mixture is smooth and completely combined.

The mixture is different than a normal dough. It’s not very sticky and is a bit powdery.

3. Pinch or roll pieces of the dough into “croutons” and place on baking sheet.

4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until they are dried on top and browned. It’s okay for them to be slightly burnt, you want them crunchy!

5. Allow to cool completely.

These will store in your fridge for about a week. Since they contain egg and tuna, you shouldn’t keep them longer than that. Store in an air-tight container. Enjoy!
