Bake energy balls for dogs

The best part? They're super easy to prepare and contain only dog-friendly ingredients – just like ours. POPS. Ideal as a reward after a walk or as a small snack in between meals.
In this post, you'll learn what ingredients you need and how to proceed step by step. Let's get started!
Ingredients for your Halloween-Leckerli
A simple basic recipe for your furry friend is easy to put together. You'll need the following ingredients:
- 100 g oat flakes
- 100 g Hokkaido pumpkin
- 50 g soft dates (or previously soaked in water)
- 30 g zucchini
- 200g Tetra Pak ADULT
- 2 g cinnamon
Bake step by step step by step
- Grind oat flakes: Place the oatmeal in a blender and grind it until it has a fine, flour-like consistency.
- Cook and puree pumpkin: Peel and dice the Hokkaido pumpkin, and cook it in a pot of water until soft. Then puree it.
- Puree dates and zucchini: If the dates are too firm, soak them in warm water first, squeeze them dry, and then blend them with the zucchini in a blender until smooth.
- Mix ingredients: Combine the ground oats, zucchini-date puree, pumpkin puree, contents of the Tetra Pak, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Knead everything thoroughly until a formable dough forms.
- Form balls: Form the mixture into about 20 small balls.
- Bake: Place the balls on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake them in a preheated oven at 90 °C (fan oven) for approx. 30 minutes.
- Let cool: Remove the balls from the oven, let them cool down completely – and then enjoy!
