Description
A delicious and nutritious homemade treat for dogs made from sweet potato and peanut butter, perfect for rewarding good behavior or simply spoiling your furry friend.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large sweet potato (baked and mashed)
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)
- 2 cups oat flour (plus extra for dusting)
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon for added flavor
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wash and poke holes in the sweet potato, then bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 45 minutes, or until tender. Let cool, peel, and mash until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato with peanut butter. Stir until well mixed.
- Gradually add the oat flour, mixing until a manageable dough forms. Add more oat flour if the dough is too sticky.
- Lightly dust a clean surface with oat flour, then roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Use a round cookie cutter to cut out treats and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the treats turn golden brown.
- Let the treats cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
Notes
- Ensure the peanut butter is xylitol-free as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
- For extra flavor, add a dash of cinnamon, which is safe for dogs in small amounts.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, in the refrigerator for up to three weeks, or freeze for long-term storage.
- You can substitute oat flour with other dog-safe flours such as almond flour or coconut flour.
- Always consult your vet before introducing new ingredients if your dog has dietary restrictions.
