1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—trust me on this one.
2. Cook the beef liver by boiling for about 10 minutes until no longer pink, then chop into small pieces and let cool.
3. Toss those oats into a food processor and blend until they look like coarse flour (this makes all the difference).
4. Mix the chopped beef liver, oat flour, water, and egg in a bowl until a dough forms that holds together nicely.
5. Roll the dough about 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface and cut into shapes—squares work just as well as fancy cookie cutters.
6. Place treats on your prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until firm and slightly crispy on the edges.
7. Let them cool completely before treating your pup (if your dog can wait that long).

Notes:

• Always let cool completely before serving—hot treats can burn doggy mouths
• Amber prefers these slightly soft, so don’t over-bake if your dog likes chewy treats
• Double-check that liver is fully cooked before mixing into dough

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight container in fridge for up to one week
• Freeze for up to three months (great for batch cooking)
• Don’t leave these out—they’ll spoil without preservatives
• Toss if you see any mold or smell anything off

What Makes This Recipe Special: These chews combine the irresistible taste of beef liver with gentle oats for perfect nutrition and texture.
