Time 1h10m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium banana, ripe
1 cup carrot, shredded
1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice
1/8 cup water, more as needed
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (keep some handy for rolling)
1 cup rolled oats

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle a little flour onto the surface you're planning to use to roll out the dough.
In a medium bowl, mash the banana and mix in the shredded carrots.
To the carrot and banana, add the water and apple juice. Stir.
Add the oats and flour. Stir all of the ingredients together until they are thoroughly combined.
Using your hands, knead the mixture until a dough forms. Dump the dough onto the lightly floured surface that you prepared earlier.
Roll out the dough until it's about a half inch thick.
Using a cookie cutter (bone shapes are fun!) or the rim of a small glass, cut into 3″ pieces. Place the pieces onto your lightly sprayed baking sheet.
Bake the dog treats for 25 minutes.
Before "serving", let them cool completely.
*Tip: If your dog likes a little more crunch to his treats, then turn off the oven and let the treats cool there overnight.
