Use them as training treats, which are easily breakable into smaller bits, or stuff them in treat toy dispensers for extra fun entertainment for your dog (like this, or that – my dog’s FAV).

Even for the finicky eaters out there, what dog doesn’t love peanut butter, apples, blueberries and carrots? My dogs know every time I whip out these dog treats. As you can tell from the pictures, my dog Blue is attached to my hip when they come around.

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 400F. Start by processing the carrots, apples and blueberries into a puree. It's OK if it remains a little chunky.
• Stir in the coconut oil, peanut butter and flour until completely blended.
• Line a 13×9 inch flat pan with parchment paper, and pour treat mixture onto pan. Spread out the mixture until leveled evenly.
• Bake for 30 minutes on 400F. The treats will come out crispy on the ends, but have more of a soft and chewy center.
• Let pan cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into treat sized squares. Store treats in fridge, or make extra and store in the freezer.

Notes

*Note: These treats are to be given intermittently, not as a meal replacement. If your dog has food allergies, you can substitute:

Regular flour with Almond or Coconut flour

Apples and carrots with squash, zucchini, blueberries, bananas, strawberries, peaches (pitted), etc.

DO NOT GIVE YOUR DOG: Avocado, grapes (and raisins), cherries, onions, garlic, apple seeds (or any fruits whole with seeds), and citrus (too much citrus fruits can cause digestive upset, especially the rinds and peels).
