Ingredients
- 1 cup grated apple
- 1 cup grated carrot
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is at the right temperature for baking the treats evenly.
- Mix Fruits and Vegetables: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated apple and grated carrot thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
