Ingredients

  • 1 cup grated apple
  • 1 cup grated carrot
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is at the right temperature for baking the treats evenly.
  2. Mix Fruits and Vegetables: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated apple and grated carrot thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
  3. Add Dry and Wet Ingredients: Add the whole wheat flour and egg to the grated apple and carrot mixture, stirring well to combine all ingredients uniformly.
  4. Add Water: Gradually add the 1/4 cup of water to the mixture while stirring until a dough forms that is pliable but not too sticky.
  5. Shape Dough: Roll out the dough on a floured surface to an even thickness, then cut into bone shapes using a cookie cutter or knife for a fun dog-friendly shape.
  6. Bake Treats: Place the bone-shaped dough pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the treats are firm and have a golden color.
  7. Cool Completely: Allow the treats to cool fully on a wire rack before serving them to your dog to ensure they are safe to eat and have the desired hard texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the grated apple does not contain seeds, as they can be harmful to dogs.
  • Whole wheat flour adds fiber but can be replaced with a gluten-free alternative if needed.
  • Store the treats in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • Always offer treats in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
  • If your dog has allergies, consult your vet before introducing new ingredients.
