Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 apple, grated
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup olive oil or coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup water (adjust as needed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Wash the apple thoroughly, core it, and remove any seeds. Scrub the carrot well. Finely grate or process both the apple and carrot until they resemble a fine pulp.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and optional cinnamon until well combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add the olive oil (or coconut oil) and the finely grated apple and carrot pulp. Mix these wet ingredients together thoroughly.
  5. Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix everything together, gradually adding the water until a firm, cohesive dough forms.
  6. Lightly flour a clean work surface, turn the dough out onto it, and knead it a few times until smooth. Roll the dough out to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch (about 6mm).
  7. Cut the rolled-out dough into small, thin sticks, approximately 1/2 inch wide and 2-3 inches long.
  8. Transfer the cut treat sticks to your prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  9. Remove the treats from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Nutrition

Keywords: Ensure the dough is firm enough to roll out without sticking excessively. For a chewier treat, reduce baking time slightly. Customize with other dog-safe veggies or add a tiny amount of xylitol-free peanut butter for extra flavor.
