It’s the holiday season and you’ve likely spent some time in the kitchen making baked goods, but what about your furry family members? In this post we're going to walk through a simple recipe to make some homemade cat treats.
Below are the instructions on how to make 4 ingredient cat treats! It’s super simple, so give it a shot!
Ingredients
- 1 – 5.5 oz can of tuna (I looked for sustainably sourced tuna with little or no added salt)
- 1 cup of all purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon of organic dried catnip
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Step 2:
Blend all ingredients in a food processor until a smooth dough forms
Step 3:
Place small balls of dough (1/4 tsp) onto a parchment lined cookie sheet and slightly flatten (if you have a small mold like us, fill it up)
Step 4:
Bake in preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes.
Step 5:
Reward your fur baby with a homemade cat treat!
These cat treats should be stored in an airtight container for no more than 5 days.
Optionally, break it into small batches and freeze them!

Hi Goldie – Yes, you can substitute oat flour for the all-purpose flour in the recipe. I think you may need to reduce the amount of oat flour though since it’s not usually a 1:1 substitution. Keep in mind oat flour has a bit of a nutty flavor, so it will slightly change the flavor of the treat for your kitty. Happy baking :) Let us know how they turn out!
