Equipment

  • small food processor
  • 19 x 13-inch half-sheet baking pan
  • parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 5 ounces canned tuna not drained
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven. Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Line a 19 x 13-inch half-sheet baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Add canned tuna to a small food processor. Pulse until tuna is finely chopped.
  • In a large bowl, combine tuna, whole wheat flour, and egg. Mix together until combined. Add olive oil and stir until fully incorporated.
  • Scoop about a tablespoon of dough and form into 1-inch balls. Place on a lined baking sheet. Once all the balls have been formed, use the tines of a fork to press firmly down on each ball.
  • Bake for approximately 12-14 minutes, or until the treats are slightly browned on the bottom. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet.
