10 minutes
25–30 minutes
Ingredients
1 cup grated carrot
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
2½ cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour for a gentler option)
1 egg
1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted)
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, dog-safe amount)
How to make
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the applesauce, grated carrot, egg, and melted coconut oil until well combined.
Gradually add the flour and cinnamon, stirring until a firm dough forms.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness.
Cut into shapes using a cookie cutter or knife.
Place treats on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden and firm.
Let the treats cool completely before serving.
How to store
Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
For longer freshness, keep them refrigerated for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months. Always allow frozen treats to thaw before serving.
Serving sizes
Small dogs: 1 treat per day
Medium dogs: 1–2 treats per day
Large dogs: 2–3 treats per day
Treats should complement your dog’s regular diet, not replace meals.
