Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets, finely chopped
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats, ground into flour
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Steam the broccoli florets for 5 minutes until tender but still vibrant green. Drain thoroughly and chop finely. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the beaten egg until frothy. Add the Greek yogurt and olive oil, creating a creamy base.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and ground oats. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
  4. Add the cooled, chopped broccoli to your mixture and stir until evenly distributed. Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form 24 small tots about the size of a walnut. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Bake the broccoli tots for 15-18 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and they feel firm to the touch. Cool completely before serving.

Notes

Each tot contains approximately 25 calories. Serve 2-3 tots as training rewards or stuff into Kong toys. Can be frozen for extra crunchiness. Steam broccoli until tender but vibrant green, and thoroughly pat dry to prevent soggy tots. Don't skip moisture removal step. Store in refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to three months. Treats should make up no more than 10% of dog's daily calories. Suitable for puppies over 12 weeks old in smaller portions.
