Equipment
- - Mixing bowl
- Grater
- Measuring cup and spoon set
- Baking tray
- Parchment paper or silicone mat
Food ingredients
- 1 medium apple peeled and finely grated
- 1 small carrot finely grated
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
- Optional 1–2 tsp water for moisture adjustment
Operation steps
- 1️⃣ Grate and prep: Peel and finely grate the apple and carrot. Pat the apple with a paper towel to remove excess juice.
- 2️⃣ Mix ingredients: Combine grated apple, carrot, oat flour, egg, and applesauce. Stir until a soft dough forms. Add a few drops of water if it feels dry.
- 3️⃣ Shape the treats: Roll the dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Cut into small coins or bone shapes using a cookie cutter.
- 4️⃣ Bake evenly: Place treats on parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 320°F (160°C) for 20–25 minutes until edges turn golden and crisp.
- 5️⃣ Cool & store: Let treats cool fully before serving or storing. This ensures a crunchy texture and longer shelf life.
