What better way is there to treat your cats than with homemade salmon-flavored donut cat treats? These treats are easy to make and require only three simple ingredients.

Ingredients

10 oz (283.5 g) boneless salmon (canned or pouch)
1 egg (beaten)
2 cups (256 g) whole wheat flour

Steps

1
Preheat the oven and set it to 350 °F (177 °C). Turn the oven on and adjust the temperature to the correct setting so the oven begins the preheating process.
2
Prepare your baking tray. Find a baking tray that fits the oven, and tear parchment paper large enough to fit the tray.
- If necessary, gently mist your baking tray with non-stick cooking spray to allow the parchment paper to stay in place.
- Alternatively, instead of parchment paper, you can use a silicone baking mat.

3
Combine all ingredients together and blend until they are well mixed and combined. In a medium bowl, add 10 oz (283.5 g) of boneless salmon (canned or pouch), 1 egg (beaten), and 2 cups (256 g) of whole wheat flour.
4
Blend all the ingredients together. Blend all the ingredients together with a mixer for about 2-3 minutes or until they are well mixed and combined.
- A blender, food processor, and handheld blender are other alternatives to a mixer and work just as well.
5
Knead the dough. Flour a flat surface with excess whole-wheat flour and move the mixture to begin kneading into dough. To knead, place both heels of your palms on top of the mixture and use your body weight to push the dough.
6
Roll out the dough. Once the dough is formed, roll it out with a rolling pin, or any other cylindrical food utensil, until it is 1 in (2.5 cm) thick.
7
Begin to shape the dough. Using a spoon or small ice-cream scooper, place a small amount of dough into your palm. Roll the dough in your palms in an up and down motion until a 1.5-2 in (3.8-5 cm) log of dough is formed.
8
Create a donut figure. Pinch both ends of the formed dough together to create a donut shape.
- If you are unhappy with the turnout of the donut that you've created, you can always roll and shape the dough again.
9
Bake the dough. Place the shaped dough onto your parchment paper-lined baking tray, and bake the salmon treats in the oven for 20 minutes.
- If the cats treats seem to be still uncooked or doughy, after 20 minutes, keep them in the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes before checking them again.
10
Let the treats cool. Leave the cat treats resting on the baking tray until they are cool to the touch.
11
Enjoy! Once your treats are cooled, let your cats enjoy their delicious donuts!
- Treats are exciting for your cat, but are not meant to be given too often. Only give your cats a maximum of 2-3 treats a day to maintain their healthy diet.
12
Storing the treats. To store, place the treats in an airtight container and keep them in a cool fridge to prevent the ingredients from spoiling. These homemade donuts are meant to last for 2-3 weeks!
