Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) cooked, mashed sweet potato
- 1 cup (240 ml) canned pumpkin (pure pumpkin, not pie filling)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (60 g) oat flour
- 1/2 cup (45 g) rolled oats
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350°F and creating a non-stick surface with parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly integrate mashed sweet potato and pumpkin until a smooth, uniform consistency is achieved.
- Incorporate oat flour, rolled oats, and peanut butter into the vegetable blend, stirring meticulously to ensure complete amalgamation of all components.
- Utilize a spoon or specialized portioning tool to extract uniform quantities of the mixture, gently molding each portion into compact, spherical shapes.
- Arrange the crafted spheres onto the prepared baking surface, delicately pressing each with fork tines to create a gentle, textured imprint.
- Position the baking sheet in the preheated oven, allowing the treats to transform for 20-25 minutes until they develop a firm structural integrity and acquire a subtle golden hue.
- Remove from oven and permit the canine delicacies to cool completely, ensuring optimal texture and temperature before presenting to your furry companion.
Notes
- Swap peanut butter with almond butter for dogs with peanut allergies, ensuring a safe and tasty alternative.
- Add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor and potential anti-inflammatory benefits for your furry friend.
- Use gluten-free oat flour if your dog has wheat sensitivities or for a more specialized diet option.
- Store these treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
