Equipment

  • food processor
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • oven

Ingredients

  • 2 cans tuna (not drained)
  • ½ cup cooked pumpkin
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 3 tablespoons sea meal mineral powder
  • ½ cup coconut flour

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Put all ingredients in bowl of food processor, and process until the whole thing is a fine-grained mash.
  • Drop by ¼ teaspoonfuls onto parchment-lined baking sheet. Press slightly with finger, to make a firm little disc.
  • Bake for 12 minutes, until treats are getting golden brown. With a wide spatula, turn treats, and return to oven for another 3-5 minutes, until this side is brown too. (This step is really just so that both sides will brown up nicely. You can skip this and just cook all on one side for about 15-16 minutes until treats are fairly brown at edges and golden in centers, and they'll be fine)
  • Cool thoroughly, and store in an air-tight container. While these stay very dry, crisp, and stable for a remarkably long time at room temperature, I try to use them up within about 2 weeks, or refrigerate if storing longer.
