Ingredients
- 4 1/2 oz cottage cheese
- 1/2 cups pinach, frozen and defrosted
- 1 1/2 cups ground flaxseedgolden
- 1 large egg
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Add all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and stir until well combined. If the mixture is too wet, add more ground flaxseed.
- This mixture is too sticky to roll, so we spoon the mixture into cookie cutters for an even shape. Place the circles onto the parchment lined baking tray.
- Bake for 30 minutes, turning over half way through until the treats are golden.
- Allow to cool and then serve as a treat or training treat.
Substitutions
- Use ricotta instead of cottage cheese
- Replace spinach with chopped parsley
- Swap flaxseed for almond flour
