Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (unsweetened and xylitol-free)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
Additional Ingredients
- 1/4 cup finely grated carrots
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
Substitutions
- For peanut allergies: sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter
- For honey sensitivity: mashed banana instead of honey
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated, creating a flavorful and binding base for your dog treats.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the old-fashioned oats to the peanut butter and honey mixture. Ensure the oats are evenly distributed to provide the treats with their structure and texture.
- Incorporate the Fruits and Vegetables: Fold the finely grated carrots and unsweetened applesauce into the mixture. These ingredients add natural sweetness, moisture, and nutritional benefits to the treats. Mix well until all components are well combined.
- Shape the Treats: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form the mixture into small, bite-sized balls using your hands or a cookie scoop and place them on the prepared sheet. Alternatively, press the mixture into silicone molds or use cookie cutters for fun shapes.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the shaped treats for at least 1 hour. This chilling step allows the treats to firm up and hold their shape, ready to be enjoyed by your dog.
Notes
- Ensure peanut butter used is unsweetened and does not contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- Store the treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
- If your dog has allergies, consider the substitions provided for peanut butter and honey.
- These treats are intended as a supplementary snack and should not replace a balanced diet.
