Dog Cookies – Carrot – Vegan

Dog Cookies - Carrot - Vegan

In my quest to feed the whole family vegan, pets included, I have been experimenting with vegan dog “treats”. Sunny and Tatum seem to really like these.  The dogs sure seemed to like these dog cookies.

Ingredients:

• 8 carrots, cut into large chunks
• olive oil
• 1 c rolled oats
• 1 c whole wheat flour
• ¾ c apple sauce, unsweetened
• 2 T chopped fresh parsley
• 2 T natural peanut butter

Directions:

1.  Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees, toss carrots with a little olive oil and roast until tender, about 30 minutes.
2. Process cooled carrots in food processor until mushy, a few small chunks are okay, you could also mash with a fork or potato masher.
3. Put mashed carrots in bowl, add the rest of ingredients and mix to combine. If your dough is a little dry, add more apple sauce, if it is a little wet, add a little more oats or flour.
4. Roll dough into small balls and place on cookie sheet.
5. Flatten balls a little with the palm of your hand. Bake at 325 for about 15 minutes or until they begin to brown. Watch carefully, no one, dogs included, want burnt cookies.
6. I am storing mine in the refrigerator and anticipate they will last a little over a week!
