Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 medium zucchini grated
  • 1 medium carrot grated
  • 1/4 cup frozen peas optional
  • 1 egg or flaxseed egg for vegan option
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil for cooking or baking

Method
 

  1. 1. Grate the zucchini and carrot, then squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini using a clean kitchen towel.
  2. 2. In a bowl, mix the rolled oats, grated zucchini, carrot, and peas. Add the egg (or flaxseed egg) and applesauce, stirring until well combined.
  3. 3. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball. Flatten gently to form a patty.
  4. 4. For pan-frying: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add coconut oil, and cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. For baking: Preheat the oven to 375°F, place fritters on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. 5. Allow the fritters to cool completely before serving.

Notes

For senior dogs, add a splash of chicken broth to make the fritters softer.
Freeze in small batches for longer storage and easy portioning.
