• 1 Tbsp quick oats is 5.06g, need 61g oat flour to sub for 12 Tbsp quick oats.
• I heated my water in my kettle as though it was for oolong to help everything combine more easily in my cold kitchen (cold PB).
• Sifted my oat flour (Anthony’s Organics GF oat flour) this time and the pre-refrigerated pill pockets are fluffier and a little less dense. Last batch felt similar to play dough texture before refrigerating and this one was far fluffier.
• This time I scooped my pill pocket dough with a size 60 cookie scoop (15g dough per scoop if flattened/no extra dough on the outside) and then cut all of the dough scoops in half with a butter knife for 7g pill pockets. We found the double pill pocket size was actually too big for what was required and although the original recipe recommends the double size for capsules, it’s probably only necessary if you are giving very large tablets like some antibiotics or 3 capsules at once.

Did “72 servings” amount because most of the pill pockets I need are the size for capsule pills and I have a pack of dogs! This dough ball is 342g weight.
Total amounts in scaled up recipe:
•6 Tbsp water
•6 Tbsp creamy peanut butter (we buy Skippy) aka 96g by weight
•12 Tbsp oats ground into flour (recipe has you grind your own)
Since I already had pre-ground oat flour on hand I just used that. What I should have done was use the weight equivalent to the oats called for pre-ground since this finely ground flour likely was packed together and finer ground than I would have been making myself. I didn’t want to run the grinder and I was being lazy about weight conversions with the oats (dumb choice but whatever) so I ended up adding a little more hot water to the dough to make up for the dissimilar amount of flour. Probably no more than half a tablespoon but I “eyeballed it”.
Going to refrigerate after shaping them into balls, then check dough hydration and test with pups.

Happy to spot this to preserve my cherry tomatoes from Costco a little longer!
