Easy Carob Chip Dog Treat Recipe
This easy carob chip dog treat recipe let's your dog enjoy his very own, dog-safe, version of chocolate chip cookies!
They're soft, sweet, yummy and melty... but that's not all. These gluten-free carob chip dog treats are totally safe for your dog (chocolate is not!) and each ingredient is nutritious and good for him. Pretty amazing right?
I use a blend of two gluten-free flours, creamy almond butter (which is rich in healthy fats), nutrient dense chia seeds and, of course, those all-important carob chips which are themselves a great source of several vitamins and minerals as well as fiber.
If you're having a dog party, or just want to give your best friend a special treat, this recipe is the perfect choice.
Substitution Ideas...
I chose white rice flour rather than brown for this dog treat recipe because it's texture is finer, it produces lighter baked goods and it's flavor is milder. However it is less nutritious, so feel free to use brown rice flour if you'd rather, it will work just as well and can be substituted 1:1
Almond butter seemed like the perfect compliment to the carob chips in these treats but peanut butter would also be a great choice.
You only need 1/4 cup liquid in this recipe and water works just fine but you can also use almond milk or oat milk to add a little extra richness.
