Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Mixture
- 1 cup cooked mashed sweet potatoes
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
Dry Ingredients
- 2½ cups whole wheat flour (plus more for rolling dough)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dog biscuits.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, and unsweetened applesauce. Stir until well blended.
- Add dry ingredients: Gradually stir in the whole wheat flour. The dough will become stiff; using your hands may make mixing easier than using a spoon.
- Roll out dough: Divide the dough in half and roll it on a surface lightly dusted with flour until it is about â…›-inch thick.
- Cut shapes: Use a cookie cutter to cut the dough into fun shapes, then place the cutouts onto an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits for 35-40 minutes or until they become dry and crispy.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let the biscuits stand on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Store or serve: Once cooled, serve the biscuits to your dog or store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Notes
- Ensure the sweet potatoes are cooked and mashed thoroughly before mixing.
- Use unsweetened applesauce to avoid added sugars harmful to dogs.
- Maintain the dough thickness around â…› inch for optimal baking and crispiness.
- Store baked biscuits in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
- Adjust cookie cutter sizes depending on the size of your dog.
