Description
Homemade Carrot and Apple Bites for Dogs are nutritious, easy-to-make treats filled with the natural goodness of carrots, apples, and oats. These treats are perfect for rewarding your pup with healthy ingredients you can trust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup grated carrots (freshly grated)
- 1 cup grated apples (peeled, cored, and grated)
- 1 cup oat flour (or oats ground into flour)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for added healthy fats)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
Instructions
- Begin by washing, peeling, and grating the carrots and apples. Remove the core and seeds from the apple as they can be harmful to dogs.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, grated apples, oat flour, coconut oil, and applesauce. Mix well until you have a thick, sticky dough.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
- (Optional) Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the bites on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until firm and lightly golden.
- Allow the bites to cool completely before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer for longer storage.
Notes
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more oat flour until it reaches a workable consistency.
- If the bites are too dry, add a bit more applesauce or a splash of water to moisten the mixture.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a small amount of cinnamon or peanut butter (ensure peanut butter is xylitol-free).
- Store baked treats at room temperature for up to 5 days, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
