Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup grated carrots (about 1 medium carrot)
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (optional)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup water (adjust as needed)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, grated carrots, peanut butter, egg, and applesauce (if using). Mix until a dough forms.
- If the dough is too thick, slowly add water until you reach the desired consistency.
- Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut the dough into fun shapes.
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and firm.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving them to your dog.
Notes
- Ensure your peanut butter is free of xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- For a softer cookie, bake for less time; for crunchier cookies, bake for 5 extra minutes with the oven off.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- You can substitute mashed bananas for applesauce if preferred.
