Easy and Nutritious Sweet Potato Chew Dog Treats
These sweet potato dog treats are chewy, naturally sweet, and packed with flavor. They provide a satisfying texture that dogs love and are made with healthy, dog-safe ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Wash and slice the sweet potatoes into thin strips or rounds.
- Bake: Place the sweet potato slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 2-3 hours, flipping them halfway through, until they are dried and chewy.
- Make the Dough: In a mixing bowl, mash the cooked sweet potato, then add the flour, oats, egg, and cinnamon (if using). Mix until a dough forms.
- Roll and Cut: Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut into desired shapes.
- Bake Treats: Place the cut treats on another baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes or until they are firm and lightly golden.
- Cool and Store: Allow the treats to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They can last up to a week at room temperature or longer in the fridge.
