Apple Carrot Dog Treats
Description
The recipe for Apple Carrot Dog Treats uses almond flour and oats as a grain-free base, enhanced by grated apple and carrot for moisture and flavor. Mixing wet and dry ingredients separately before combining ensures even dough formation without excessive moisture. The dough is rolled out and cut into shapes suitable for dogs, then baked at 350°F until firm. The inclusion of brown sugar adds mild sweetness without overpowering the natural flavors.
Once baked and cooled thoroughly, these treats offer a chewy texture dogs can enjoy safely. They are ideal for training or regular snacking, made with recognizable wholesome ingredients without additives. Storage guidelines recommend airtight containers at room temperature for up to three days or freezing up to three months, allowing for convenient portioning.
Because ingredient sensitivities vary among dogs, consulting a veterinarian before introducing new treats is advised, especially with almond flour or oats as components.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cup almond flour *See Notes
- ½ cup oats
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ cup apple peeled and grated (about 1 small apple)
- 1/2 cup carrot peeled and grated
- 1 egg beaten
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In one bowl, mix the flour, oats, and brown sugar. In separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the oil, water.
- Peel and grate apple and carrots and mix into the egg/water mixture. Gradually add wet mixture into flour mixture and stir until a dough has formed. You can add up to ¼ cup additional water but I didn't find it necessary as the apple added a lot of moisture.
- Carefully roll out dough and cut out desired shape. I used a small cap, you could also use these cute dog treat molds!
- Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, until the treats are firm. Smaller shapes like mine require slightly less cooking time than larger treats.
- Remove them from the oven and let them cook completely prior to sharing with your furry friend : )
Notes
- Consult your veterinarian before offering new treats, especially if your dog has food sensitivities.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Allow frozen treats to reach room temperature before giving to your dog.
