Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 cup finely grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon optional

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Bone-shaped cookie cutters

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, grated carrots, applesauce, egg, olive oil, and water.
  3. Mix the ingredients until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more oat flour.
  4. Lightly flour your surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Use the bone-shaped cookie cutters to cut out the treats and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bones are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove the treats from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before serving to your dog.

Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store the crunchy apple and carrot bones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a month. Remember, these treats are meant to be an occasional snack, not a full diet. Always introduce new treats gradually and consult your veterinarian if your dog has any health issues or dietary restrictions.
Variations:
- Substitute the applesauce with pureed banana for a different flavor.
- Add a tablespoon of peanut butter for a nutty twist, ensuring it's xylitol-free.
- Incorporate other veggies like spinach or pumpkin for added nutrition.
