1. Prep your workspace: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin thoroughly—these are rich and will stick without proper greasing!
2. Process the liver: In a food processor, blend chopped beef liver until completely smooth—no chunks should remain for best texture and palatability.
3. Mix it together: Transfer smooth liver to a large bowl and mix in grated carrots, chopped spinach, oat flour, beaten egg, and olive oil until well combined.
4. Fill and bake: Spoon mixture evenly into greased muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and springs back when touched.
5. Cool completely: Let patties cool completely before serving—start with small portions since liver is very rich and nutrient-dense.

Notes:

• Always start with small amounts if your dog hasn’t had liver before
• Amber gets 1/2 patty a few times per week—a little goes a long way
• These are incredibly nutrient-dense, so use as special treats, not daily snacks
• Fresh liver is crucial—avoid if it has any off smells

Storage Tips:

• Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container
• Freeze individually wrapped for up to 3 months
• Thaw frozen patties slowly in refrigerator
• Toss if you notice any changes in smell or color

What Makes This Recipe Special: These patties combine beef liver—nature’s most nutrient-dense food—with complementary vegetables that provide fiber and antioxidants, creating treats that deliver more vitamins and minerals per bite than any commercial supplement.

Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):
