This accidental tasting turned into a lifetime love of carrots for Scout.

Scout is getting to be an old dog now, and his teeth are not what they used to be. Our friend gives him soft dog treats now.

This recipe was created for Scout—and we included his beloved carrots.

If your dog, like Scout, loves carrots—our Carrot Dog Muffins are sure to be a hit!

If you have a large breed dog, you can use a regular sized muffin or cupcake pan (12 muffins). If you have a small breed dog, the best size is the smaller muffin size. The pan for little muffins makes 24 muffins at a time.

Carrot is one of the more difficult flavors to find, but I did find natural carrot biscuits at Only Natural Pet Store, as well.

Ingredients for Carrot Dog Muffins

• 1 c milk
• 1/4 c canola or vegetable oil
• 2 T honey
• 1 egg
• 1 ½ c whole wheat flour
• 1 c oatmeal (quick or old fashioned)
• 1 c wheat bran
• 1 t baking soda
• 1 t cinnamon
• 2 c grated carrots
• 1/2 c sunflower seeds

Directions for Carrot Dog Muffins

• In a small bowl, using a whisk, beat together the egg, honey, oil and milk.

• Combine and mix all the other (dry) ingredients in a large bowl.

• Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until everything is wet.

• Put the mixture into the greased muffin tins—filling to ¾ full.

• Bake at 375 degrees F for 15-20 minutes for the small muffins and 25-30 minutes for the regular size muffins.

• The muffins will be done when you insert a toothpick in the middle of one, and it comes out clean—nothing sticking to it.

• Turn the oven off and leave the muffins in the oven until they are completely cool.

Store your Carrot Dog Muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Because they are soft treats, with more moisture than hard dog biscuits, they will get moldy if you keep them at room temperature.
