It is so much fun to do some baking for your four-legged friend once in a while! My dog absolutely loves these treats, and my toddler absolutely loves making them with me!

But first, let’s get into a few basic questions you may have.

Best Kind of Flour for Dogs

If possible, I recommend using Almond flour, because it’s healthy and easy to find at the grocery store.

Healthier Flour Alternatives for Dog Treats:

Grain: Barley, Buckwheat, Millet, Oat, Pea, Quinoa, Rice, Sorghum

Non-Grain: Chickpea, Coconut, Hazelnut, Lentil, Potato

Storing Homemade Dog Treats

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Or freeze for up to 3 months, removing them as you need them and letting them come to room temperature.

Dog Treats as Gifts:

• These small treat molds and are perfect for giving these treats as gifts in these little canisters!
• Treat-making and gift-giving is also a great activity for little ones, (with your assistance of course!)

Storage

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Or freeze for up to 3 months, removing them as you need them and letting them come to room temperature.

Ingredients

• 2 ½ cup Almond flour *See Notes
• ½ cup oats
• 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
• ½ cup apple peeled and grated (about 1 small apple)
• 1/2 cup carrots peeled and grated
• 1 egg beaten
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• ¼ cup water

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In one bowl, mix the flour, oats, and brown sugar. In separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the oil, water.
• Peel and grate apple and carrots and mix into the egg/water mixture. Gradually add wet mixture into flour mixture and stir until a dough has formed. You can add up to ¼ cup additional water but I didn't find it necessary as the apple added a lot of moisture.
• Carefully roll out dough and cut out desired shape. I used a small cap, you could also use these cute dog treat molds!
• Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, until the treats are firm. Smaller shapes like mine require slightly less cooking time than larger treats.
• Remove them from the oven and let them cook completely prior to sharing with your furry friend : )
