As pet owners, we often find ourselves searching for ways to show our furry friends just how much we care. One of the most effective ways to express our love is through the food we provide, particularly with healthy treats. Just like humans, dogs thrive on nutrition that supports their health and wellness. Healthy treats not only keep our pets happy but can also promote their overall well-being. In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards homemade dog treats, as pet owners become more aware of the ingredients that go into commercial products. By creating treats at home, we can ensure that our dogs are consuming only the best and most wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients
  

1 cup finely chopped apples (seeds removed)

1 cup grated carrots

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened and xylitol-free)

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon honey (optional)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped apples and grated carrots. Stir them together until they are well mixed.

    Add the rolled oats, natural peanut butter, whole wheat flour, and honey (if using) to the bowl.

      Sprinkle in the cinnamon and mix all the ingredients until a sticky dough forms. If the dough is too wet, add a little more flour as needed.

        Once the dough is well combined, use your hands to form small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

          Place the apple and carrot balls onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

            Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the treats for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden and firm.

              Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving them to your furry friend.
