Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Apples (Fuji or Gala, cored and deseeded)
- 2 Carrots (grated finely)
- 2 cups Oat Flour
- 1 Large Egg
- 1/2 cup Water or Low-Sodium Beef Broth
- Optional: a pinch of cinnamon or turmeric
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash the apple and carrot thoroughly. Core the apple and grate or chop it into small pieces. Grate the carrot finely.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the egg and lightly whisk it. Add the grated apple and carrot, along with the low-sodium beef broth, and stir to combine.
- Gradually add the oat flour to the wet mixture, mixing well after each addition. If using, add the pinch of cinnamon or turmeric. Adjust the dough consistency as needed.
- Lightly flour your countertop and roll out about a quarter of the dough to ¼-inch thick. Cut the dough into long, slender sticks.
- Transfer the sticks to the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
- Bake the sticks for about 20-25 minutes until firm and slightly golden. For a crispier texture, reduce the oven temperature to 200°F (95°C) and dry for an additional 1 to 2 hours.
- Once baked to your desired texture, cool the sticks completely on a wire rack before storing.
