18 Dog Treats
Ingredients
1 cup finely grated fresh carrots
1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour for gluten-free option)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1 tablespoon natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)
1–2 tablespoons water (as needed for dough consistency)
How To Make
Prep the carrots: Finely grate fresh carrots and lightly pat dry if overly moist.
Mix ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine grated carrots, flour, egg, applesauce, and peanut butter. Stir until a dough forms.
Adjust texture: Add water gradually if the dough feels too dry. It should be firm but pliable.
Roll and cut: Roll the dough to about ¼-inch thickness. Cut into bone shapes or small bite-sized squares.
Preheat air fryer: Set air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
Air fry: Place treats in a single layer in the basket. Cook for 12–15 minutes until golden and firm.
Cool completely: Allow treats to cool fully before serving—they’ll crisp up more as they cool.
How To Store
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks for extended freshness.
Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw as needed.
