Description
Peanut Butter and Carrot Dog Biscuits offer a healthy, crunchy treat for dogs made with simple, wholesome ingredients like peanut butter, carrots, and whole wheat flour.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (or gluten-free alternative)
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (unsalted, xylitol-free)
- 1/2 cup grated carrots (about one medium carrot)
- 1/4 cup water (more if needed)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and 1/4 cup of water, stirring until smooth.
- Add the grated carrots to the peanut butter mixture and mix until evenly combined.
- Gradually add the flour to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Add water by the teaspoon if needed to reach a pliable consistency.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness and cut into shapes using cookie cutters or a knife.
- Place the shaped biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each biscuit.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. For a crunchier texture, leave the biscuits to cool inside the oven with the door slightly open.
- Remove the biscuits and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- Use gluten-free flour if your dog has a gluten sensitivity.
- Store biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks or freeze for longer shelf life.
- Ensure peanut butter is xylitol-free as it is toxic to dogs.
- For a softer texture, reduce the baking time slightly.
