1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—trust me on this step.
2. Mix oats, flour, and grated carrots in a large bowl until evenly distributed.
3. Add applesauce, egg, and melted coconut oil, stirring until a slightly sticky dough forms.
4. Roll out on floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness (if your pup can wait that long).
5. Cut into fun shapes using cookie cutters and place on prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.
7. Let cool completely before serving—this is crucial for safety and perfect crunch!

Notes:

• Always let cool completely to avoid burning eager mouths and for best texture
• Amber prefers these crispy, but you can adjust baking time for softer biscuits
• If dough is too sticky, add more flour; too dry, add more applesauce

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks
• To restore crispiness, warm in 200°F oven for 5 minutes
• They actually improve in flavor after sitting overnight
