Apple & Carrot Dog Bones

 

Apple & Carrot Dog Bones

Ingredients

• 1 cup finely grated carrot, squeezed dry
• ½ cup mashed apple or unsweetened applesauce
• ¼ cup ground flaxseed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1½ to 2 cups oat flour
• 1 tsp dried parsley (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine the carrots, apples, flaxseed, oil, and parsley. Gradually mix in the oat flour until a firm, non-sticky dough forms.

Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thick. Cut into bone shapes or desired shapes and place on the baking sheet.

Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until dry, firm, and lightly golden around the edges. Turn off the oven and leave the treats inside with the door slightly open for 1 to 2 hours for extra crunch.

Allow to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks, or freeze for up to 4 months.
