Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store these treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months. Remember, these treats are an occasional snack, not a complete diet, and should be fed in moderation.
Variations:
- Substitute whole wheat flour with oat flour for a grain-free option.
- Add mashed banana for extra flavor and sweetness.
- Incorporate finely chopped parsley for fresh breath benefits.
