Description
Grain-free biscuits that combine fiber-rich coconut flour with sweet carrots—perfect for dogs with grain sensitivities who still deserve crispy, satisfying treats!
Prep Time: 25 minutes | Cook Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 50 minutes | Makes: 20-25 biscuits

Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (4 oz) coconut flour (sifted if clumpy)
- 1 cup (4 oz) grated carrots (fresh for best moisture and flavor)
- 1/2 cup (4 oz) unsweetened applesauce (no added sugars)
- 2 eggs (essential for binding coconut flour)
- 2 tbsp (30ml) coconut oil, melted (cooled to room temperature)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper—coconut flour treats need proper non-stick surface.
- In bowl, mix coconut flour and grated carrots, ensuring carrots are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- Add applesauce, eggs, and melted (but cooled) coconut oil, stirring until dough forms that holds together without being sticky.
- Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness on surface dusted with coconut flour—regular flour won’t maintain grain-free integrity.
- Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters, re-rolling scraps as needed for maximum yield.
- Place biscuits on prepared baking sheet with space between each one for even heat circulation.
- Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy—check at 20 minutes since coconut flour can brown quickly.
- Cool completely before serving for perfect crunch that dogs love in biscuits.
Notes:
- Sift coconut flour if clumpy for best texture results
- Coconut flour is very absorbent—don’t add extra liquid unless dough won’t hold together
- These get crunchier as they cool, which most dogs prefer
- Store properly to maintain that satisfying crispy texture
Storage Tips:
- Store in airtight containers for 7-10 days at room temperature
- High fiber content helps maintain freshness longer than grain-based treats
- These actually improve in crunchiness after sitting overnight
- Keep in cool, dry place for maximum texture retention
What Makes This Recipe Special:
Coconut flour provides beneficial fiber that supports digestive health while being completely grain-free and gentle on sensitive systems. The natural sweetness from carrots eliminates need for added sugars, while coconut oil delivers healthy medium-chain fatty acids that support metabolism and create beautiful coat shine.
