Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 medium sweet potato cooked and mashed (1/2 cup mashed, plain, no butter, salt, or seasoning)
  • 1/4 cup creamy all-natural peanut butter xylitol-free
  • 1 cup oat flour

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, add 1/2 cup of the cooked, mashed sweet potato, making sure it is smooth and cooled.
  3. Stir in the peanut butter until the mixture is completely combined and creamy.
  4. Gradually add the oat flour, stirring until a soft, Play-Doh-like dough forms that is not sticky.
  5. If the dough is sticky, add 1 to 2 teaspoons more oat flour; if it is crumbly, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of water or extra mashed sweet potato and mix again.
  6. Roll or pat the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  7. Use a small cookie cutter or knife to cut shapes, or pinch off small pieces and roll into balls, then flatten into bite-size coins.
  8. Place the shaped cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the cookies are set and the bottoms are lightly golden.
  10. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Once cooled, serve as treats, or break into tiny pieces for training rewards or to use in puzzle toys.

Notes

- Always use peanut butter that is clearly labeled xylitol-free, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
- Let the sweet potato cool before mixing so the dough is easier to handle and the peanut butter does not separate.
- For softer treats, bake closer to 20 minutes; for firmer, chewier cookies, bake the full 25 minutes.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 to 7 days, or freeze for longer storage.
- Break cookies into small pieces for puppies, small dogs, or seniors with dental sensitivities.
