Ingredients

2 ½ cup Almond flour *See Notes
½ cup oats
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
½ cup apple peeled and grated (about 1 small apple)
1/2 cup carrots peeled and grated
1 egg beaten
1/3 cup vegetable oil
¼ cup water

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In one bowl, mix the flour, oats, and brown sugar. In separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the oil, water.
Peel and grate apple and carrots and mix into the egg/water mixture. Gradually add wet mixture into flour mixture and stir until a dough has formed. You can add up to ¼ cup additional water but I didn't find it necessary as the apple added a lot of moisture.
Carefully roll out dough and cut out desired shape. I used a small cap, you could also use these cute dog treat molds!
Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, until the treats are firm. Smaller shapes like mine require slightly less cooking time than larger treats.
Remove them from the oven and let them cook completely prior to sharing with your furry friend : )
