Dogs Can Eat Healthy Too!

We had a bake sale at work the other day and I decided instead of baking people goods, to bake up some dog treats!

I now have a puppy and I know she would enjoy them as well and there are enough dog lovers in the group that they are sure to be a hit.

I created a Sweet Potato & Applesauce Dog Treat and a Peanut Butter Oat Dog Treat. Hope you(r) dog enjoys!

 

Home-Baked Dog Treats

Sweet Potato & Apple Sauce Dog Treats

Ingredients:

1C of Sweet Potatoes

1/4C unsweetened applesauce

2 1/2C whole wheat flour (I prefer to use Bob’s Red Mill brand)

2 eggs

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Mix whole wheat flour, applesauce, and eggs in the large bowl with the sweet potato until a dough forms. Turn dough out on a well-floured surface and roll dough to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut out shapes using a cookie cutter or cut dough into strips with a pizza cutter. Arrange cookies on an ungreased baking sheet.
3. Bake until crisp, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wax/parchment paper.

2C Whole Wheat Flour (I prefer to use Bob’s Red Mill brand)

2tblsp baking powder

Directions:
