Treat your furry friend to a nutritious delight with our sweet potato dog treat recipe. Featuring rolled oats, cooked sweet potato, coconut oil, and water, these treats offer a flavorful way to incorporate essential nutrients into your pet's diet. It's a simple yet satisfying option for pet owners who prioritize their dog's well-being.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (200 grams) rolled oats or quick oats.
  • ½ cup (100 grams) cooked sweet potato , skin removed.
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil.
  • a few tablespoons water

Equipment:

  • Food Processor
  • bone cookie cutters

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking tray with parchment
paper.

2 Add the oats to a food processor and process until they are a coarse flour-like
consistency.

3 Add the cooked sweet potato and the coconut oil (doesn't matter if it's hard or
liquid) and process until well combined.

4 Add the water 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing a few times in between each
addition, until the mixture can be squeezed into a firm, pliable dough with your
fingers,

5 Remove the blade, tip out the dough and knead together a bit so it's all in a big
ball.

6 Roll out to about 3 to 4 mm thick. I like to roll mine out on a silicone baking mat
but if you don't have one you might need to sprinkle some flour on the surface to
stop the dough sticking. If your dog is wheat intolerant be sure to use oat flour
(just process a few more oats until they are flour).

7 Cut out into cookie shapes using a cookie cutter or just cut the dough into even
pieces with a knife or pizza cutter.

8 Carefully transfer the cookies to the lined tray and bake in the oven for 20 - 25
minutes. Keep an eye on them towards the end as all ovens and baking trays
cook differently. The cookies should be very hard and dry with slightly golden
bottoms.

9 Cool completely on the tray then store in an airtight container.

Notes.

Cookies will keep for 2 months in an airtight container at room temperature or up to 6 months in the freezer.
