Pup Approved Carrot Apple Natural Baked Dog Treats
Your dog will absolutely devour these carrot apple natural baked dog treats. Not only are they all natural, but they are made with only 6 ingredients. With a slight crisp outside and chewy center, these homemade treats are perfect for senior dogs, too. Easy on the tummy without skimping on flavor!
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp flour
- 3 tbsp peanut butter *WITHOUT XYLITOL
- 3 whole carrots
- 2 whole apples
- 2 tbsp coconut oil *cold-pressed
- 3/4 cup blueberries *optional
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 13x9 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).
