Instructions

Step 1: Prep & Oven Preheat

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard 8-cup muffin tin or silicone pup pie mold with a drop of coconut oil.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Silicone muffin cups make removing cooked pup pies effortless.

Step 2: Prepare the Crust

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup oat flour and 1 egg. Slowly stir in 2-3 tablespoons of unsalted chicken bone broth until a pliable dough forms.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** If dough is sticky, sprinkle in a extra teaspoon of oat flour.

Step 3: Form Pie Shells

Divide the oat crust dough into 8 equal portions. Press each portion firmly into the bottom and sides of the greased muffin cups to form mini pie shells.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Use the back of a spoon to create an even rim.

Step 4: Fill and Top

Divide the shredded cooked chicken breast and steam-diced peas and carrots evenly among the 8 crusts. Spoon the sweet potato puree over the top, smoothing with a spatula or piping through a pastry bag for a festive swirl.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Pipe the sweet potato through a star tip for a decorative bakery look!

Step 5: Bake and Cool

Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the oat crust edges are golden brown and set. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** NEVER serve hot treats to dogs; test warmth against your inner wrist.
