Coconut Flour Carrot 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

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper—coconut flour treats need proper non-stick surface.
  2. In bowl, mix coconut flour and grated carrots, ensuring carrots are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
  3. Add applesauce, eggs, and melted (but cooled) coconut oil, stirring until dough forms that holds together without being sticky.
  4. Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness on surface dusted with coconut flour—regular flour won’t maintain grain-free integrity.
  5. Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters, re-rolling scraps as needed for maximum yield.
  6. Place biscuits on prepared baking sheet with space between each one for even heat circulation.
  7. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy—check at 20 minutes since coconut flour can brown quickly.
  8. 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.

Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):

  • Sweet Potato Version: Substitute sweet potato puree for applesauce for different flavor and extra vitamin A
  • Apple Addition: Include finely grated apple for extra antioxidants and natural sweetness
  • Training Size: Make smaller, bite-sized pieces for grain-sensitive dogs during training
  • Fiber Boost: Add ground flaxseed for additional omega-3s and digestive support
  • Simple Version: Use just coconut flour, eggs, and coconut oil for most basic grain-free option
