Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup grated carrot
- 1/2 cup finely chopped apple (no skin or seeds)
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour
Binding/Moisture Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) coconut oil (melted)
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and heat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend grated carrot, finely chopped apple, smooth applesauce, and liquefied coconut oil until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Introduce oat flour gradually into the mixture, stirring consistently to create a compact, cohesive dough.
- Shape the dough into petite, uniform spheres using your palms.
- Delicately press each dough ball using your hand or a fork, creating slightly flattened cookie shapes.
- Arrange the formed cookies onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring adequate spacing between each.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, monitoring until cookies develop a firm texture and acquire a subtle golden rim.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool completely at room temperature before presenting to your canine companion or storing in an airtight container.
Notes
- Grate carrots and 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 harm your dog’s health.
- Swap oat flour with whole wheat flour or brown rice flour for dogs with specific grain sensitivities.
- Refrigerate cookies in an airtight container for up to one week to maintain freshness and crunch.
