Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup oats
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 apple, cored and grated (leave peel on)
  • ½ cup carrots, peeled and grated
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼½ cup water (add only if necessary)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a cookie sheet to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Fruits and Vegetables: Core and grate the apple, leaving the peel on for extra fiber, and peel and grate the carrots. A food processor can make this quicker and more uniform.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, oats, and brown sugar (if using) to ensure even distribution.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the vegetable oil, grated apples, grated carrots, and the initial amount of water if needed for moisture.
  5. Create the Dough: Add the wet ingredients bowl to the dry ingredients, stirring thoroughly until a dough forms. Add more water only if the dough is too dry or crumbly.
  6. Shape Biscuits: Roll out the dough carefully on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Use small cookie cutters to cut out biscuit shapes.
  7. Bake: Place the cut-out biscuits on the greased cookie sheet and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the biscuits are firm and the apple juices have fully soaked in.
  8. Cool and Store: Allow biscuits to cool completely before serving to your dog. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  9. Serve: Make sure to feed these treats in moderation as a healthy supplement to your dog’s diet. This recipe yields about 20-24 small dog biscuits per batch.

Notes

  • Brown sugar is optional; omit it if your dog is sensitive to sugar.
  • Water quantity depends on the moisture from the apples; add slowly to avoid a sticky dough.
  • Ensure biscuits are fully cooled before feeding to prevent mouth burns.
  • Store biscuits in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks.
  • Use organic apples and carrots if possible for a cleaner treat.
  • If your dog has food allergies, consult your vet before introducing new treats.
