Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup grated carrot
- 1/2 cup finely chopped apple (no skin or seeds)
- 1 1/2 cups (180 grams) oat flour
Binding and Moisture Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) coconut oil (melted)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for even cooking.
- Combine freshly grated carrot, finely chopped apple, smooth applesauce, and liquefied coconut oil in a mixing bowl, stirring until ingredients are thoroughly integrated.
- Fold in oat flour gradually, working the mixture until a cohesive, dense dough develops with consistent texture.
- Shape the dough into compact rounds, then gently press each ball using fingertips or a fork to create rustic, flat cookie shapes.
- Arrange the formed cookies across the prepared baking sheet, ensuring slight separation between each treat.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, watching for golden edges and firm centers that indicate complete cooking.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack, ensuring thorough temperature reduction before offering to canine companions.
Notes
- Grate carrots and chop apples finely to ensure even distribution and prevent large chunks that might be difficult for dogs to chew.
- Use unsweetened applesauce to avoid added sugars that could be harmful to dogs’ health.
- If your dog has a grain sensitivity, substitute oat flour with alternative flours like coconut or brown rice flour for a gluten-free option.
- Store these homemade treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
