I got the itch to bake something last weekend. Dexter and Dewey were the lucky recipients of the fruits of my labor! I whipped up some homemade dog biscuits that are low fat, chewy, and puppy-approved.
| Fruity Oatmeal Dog Treats | | Print |
- 1 banana, ripe
- 1 cup shredded carrot
- ¼ cup unsweetened apple sauce
- ⅛ cup water
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup oats
- Preheat your oven to 350F.
- Mash the carrots with the banana, then add applesauce and water.
- Fold in the oats and gradually add the flour until a dough is formed.
- Lightly sprinkle a counter top with some whole wheat flour and roll out the dough to about ½ inch thick.
- Use a small biscuit cutter (or any cutter of your choice!) and place treats on a lightly-sprayed cookie sheet.
- Bake for 25 minutes, and then turn off the oven and let the treats stay inside for an additional 2-3 hours. This will dehydrate them further, creating a chewy (or crunchy, depending on how long you let them dehydrate) treat with a longer shelf life!
Dexter knew the treat was for him. He just KNEW it.
What happens when Dexter declares that something belongs to him?
C’mon, all together now..
GREMLIN FACE!
Salivating uncontrollably while mommy tries to take photos of the finished treats.
That’s when Dewey came on scene and pulled out… The Eyebrows. Oh I was in trouble. Those treats were not going to be long for this world.
Could YOU say no to that face?
That’s what I thought.
They went nuts over these things. I bet I could get them to do anything I asked if they thought their reward would be a little disc of apple-banana awesomeness.
.. and I would do anything for him when he looks at me like this!
Dexter wanted me to tell you all that I left out a step in the instructions above. This photo illustrates a very, very important part of this recipe. Feed to doggeh.
Can I use Quaker oats – quick 1 minute oats???
Sure! The texture will probably be a little different, but I doubt the puppy will mind.
Hi Made them with almond flower instead of wheat. Came out great@ ehanks
I love your site and your Corgis!! I write for a site called PatchPuppy.com and we’re all about dogs. I have to tell you I fell in love with Dexter and Dewey. And with your recipe. We’re going to send it out to our email list and reprint it with a link back to your site this week. it’ll publish on Thursday, so stop on by!!
That’s awesome, thank you!! I’ll be sure to check it out!
Your pups are so cute. These dog biscuits look delicious. I’m definitely going to try making them. I like that they’re so healthy and free from any nasty ingredients like store bought ones. Thanks for the recipe. I’m sure my pup will love them.
Hi,I log on to your blog named “Homemade Dog Biscuits for Welsh Corgis | Brownie Bites Blog” like every week.Your writing style is witty, keep it up! And you can look our website about powerful love spells.
Very smooth blog post . I definitely like your site. Keep it up!
Thanks for the recipe! I’m looking forward to trying them for my Golden today. Your corgis are adorable.
Hi, its pleasant article about media print, we all know
media is a fantastic source of information.
Thanks so much for the recipe, but maybe I am missing something, but is the oatmeal cooked or dry? Can’t wait to try the recipe, sounds like I might enjoy it also – being vegan and all! Thanks.
Hi, may I know the cup measurements in grams? It will be much clearer because the cup that we use may differ. And can I use plain flour instead of wheat flour? Because I found out that some dogsay be allergic to wheat. Thank you for the recipe and your dogs seemed to enjoy the cookies. I am going to try to make some for my dog as well. :)
Our Momma made these for us today! Dexter and Dewey are right, these things are WONDERFUL!! Thanks for giving our Mom the recipe!!
We’re Corgis too! Bookmarked this on mom’s ibone for her to make us today! We have all the ingredients — Can’t wait
Cant wait to make these! How many did you get out of why looks like a 1″ cookie cutter?
Oh my goodness, these sound extraordinarily good! Going to try them next saturday, the treatbaking day :)
Love the photos on your site, so delicious!
Just made these with my sister – her 6 dogs LOVE LOVE LOVED them! No doubt my 4 guys will be equally as appreciative when I take some home (if I can keep these guy’s paws off them long enuf!)…
Many thanks! This is one of the only really tasty and low fat, low calorie dog treats I’ve found online! All our dogs salute you – they give you 6 WOOFS! :D
I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any inireesttng article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.

hei, hei, hei, sa ne veselimMie aproape ca imi plac manifestarile artistice de acest calibru dureros, pentru ca iti dau prilejul sa scrii despre ele asa cum o faci :))
I’d venture that this article has saved me more time than any other.
It’s actually a great and useful piece of information. I’m happy that you just shared this helpful info with us. Thanks for the share. If you like to pass by -android
thank you so much for sharing this recipe. our ‘neighborhood dog’ absolutely loves these cookies. i find i rather enjoy them too, lol!
Cute! These are two lucky pups!
Hi! I love your dogs! I’m a huge, huge fan of Pembrokes- so cute! Anyway, and please take no offense, but did you try these, becasue honestly, they look qutie tasty to me as a better-for-you/healthy cookie option. ;)
Ha! It’s funny you ask that.. we actually DID try a little bite. Let’s just say they could use some sweetening up.. but all in all? Not too horrible!
my pup would love me if i made these! you got SUCH great photos haha! so cute.
Thank you so much!
I have seen so many dog treat recipes, but none of them use typical ingredients or sound as good as these. I can’t wait to make them for my puppies! Thanks!
Let me know how they work out! Thanks for visiting.
Found this on Pinterest and I just had to say WHAT CUUUUUTE DOGS YOU HAVE! They’re killin me and no I certainly could NOT say no to EITHER face. I’m going to try these on my own fur baby and see what she thinks. So far all her treats have been pb-centric so this will be different. (P.S. Are your dogs Corgi’s?)
Aw, thank you!! They are corgis! :-)
Came across one of your comments on The Pioneer Woman and something made me checkout your link. As soon as I saw your Corgi favicon I knew I had to come visit! We have 2, an almost 7-yr-old we’ve had since a pup and an almost 4-yr-old we adopted from another family last September. We haven’t made homemade treats in a very long time, my daughter has been after me to do it…so we’ll have to try these after our next trip to the grocery – I’m sure our Riley & Duncan will LOVE them!
Welcome fellow corgi lover!! I love the names Riley & Duncan – so very fitting!
OMG these photos of your dogs are so beautiful!!!! I am glad they njoyed the treats!
Thanks, Catalina! They’re such rascals!
Erin, these dog biscuits are so cute and I bet any dog – especially Dexter – would be lucky to enjoy them! Thanks for sharing. You have a very nice blog and I’m so glad to have found you!
Thank you for your kind words! :)
