Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium sweet potato, cooked and mashed
- 1/2 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- 1 cup oat flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 1 egg, whisked
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Peel, chop, and boil or steam the sweet potato until tender. Mash into a smooth puree and let cool.
- Wash and finely chop the spinach. If using frozen spinach, thaw and drain excess water before chopping.
- In a large bowl, mix the mashed sweet potato, spinach, oat flour, whisked egg, melted coconut oil, turmeric, and cinnamon until a soft dough forms.
- Roll the dough into small, 1-inch bite-sized balls.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the bites evenly on the baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Allow the treats to cool completely before serving to your dog.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
- If the dough is too sticky, add more oat flour (1 tablespoon at a time).
- For a crunchier texture, bake for an additional 5-8 minutes.
- For softer treats, reduce the baking time by 2-3 minutes.
- These treats are best served in moderation based on your dog’s size.
- Substitutions: Use coconut flour for a grain-free version or add shredded carrots or blueberries for extra nutrients.
