Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Dog Cookies

  • 1 cup cooked sweet potato, mashed
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • ¼ cup peanut butter (unsweetened and xylitol-free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the cookies do not stick and bake evenly.
  2. Mix Sweet Potato: In a large bowl, mash the cooked sweet potato until it reaches a smooth consistency, which will act as the base for the dough.
  3. Add Ingredients: Add the rolled oats and unsweetened, xylitol-free peanut butter to the mashed sweet potato. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined into a uniform dough.
  4. Shape Cookies: Roll the dough into small balls or use cookie cutters to form fun shapes such as bones or hearts, making the treats more visually appealing for your pet.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Place the shaped cookies onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with a fork to ensure even baking and a crisp texture.
  6. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are just lightly golden to ensure they are cooked through but not too hard.
  7. Cool Before Serving: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet or on a cooling rack before giving them to your dog to prevent any mouth burns.

Notes

  • You can add a pinch of cinnamon or shredded carrots to the mixture for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Try using cookie cutters for fun shapes like bones or hearts to make the treats more enjoyable for your dog.
  • Peanut butter can be substituted with dog-safe almond butter, but ensure it is also free of xylitol to keep it safe for pets.
