Description
Sweet Potato Oatmeal Dog Treats are a nutritious and delicious snack, packed with vitamins and fiber for a happy, healthy pup. This easy-to-make recipe uses simple ingredients like sweet potato, oats, and an egg to create treats your dog will love.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium-sized sweet potato (about 1 cup mashed)
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (preferably organic)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the sweet potato by either boiling or baking until soft, then mash and cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, rolled oats, and egg. If using, add unsweetened applesauce and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until the dough is slightly sticky but firm.
- Shape the dough into bite-sized balls or discs and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crisp around the edges.
- Allow the treats to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
Notes
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- For longer storage, freeze the treats in a freezer-safe container for up to three months.
- Adjust baking time based on desired treat texture—longer for crunchier treats, shorter for softer ones.
- Optional ingredients like cinnamon and applesauce can add extra flavor and moisture.
