Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded beef, mashed sweet potato, oat flour, yogurt, egg, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more oat flour until it is manageable.
- Lightly flour your surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Use dog bone cookie cutters or your desired shapes to cut out the chews and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chews are firm and slightly golden.
- Allow the chews to cool completely on a wire rack before serving to your pup.
Notes
Storage & Reheating:
Store the chews in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months. Remember, these are treats and should be given in moderation. Always introduce any new snacks gradually to your dog, and consult your veterinarian if your dog has health issues or allergies. Variations:
- Substitute beef with cooked chicken for a different protein.
- Add 1/4 cup of finely chopped carrots for extra nutrition and crunch.
- Replace sweet potato with pumpkin puree for a different flavor profile.
- Incorporate 1 tablespoon of peanut butter (without xylitol) for added richness.
