Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato puree, crumbled bacon, and egg. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the whole wheat flour and oats to the mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the treats are firm and lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the treats cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
Storage & Reheating:
Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. If you prefer to keep them longer, you can freeze the treats for up to three months. Remember, these treats are meant for occasional spoiling and should be given in moderation. Always consult your veterinarian if your dog has health conditions or dietary restrictions. Variations:
- Substitute turkey bacon for a leaner option.
- Add 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Mix in 1/4 cup of grated carrots for added texture and taste.
- Use gluten-free flour instead of whole wheat flour for a gluten-free version.
