Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose or whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup applesauce
  • 2 tbsp. coconut oil melted
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 3/4 cup cooked sweet potato
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F / 177°C / Gas Mark 4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Add oats to the bowl of a food processor.
  • Let machine run for 2 - 3 minutes, until oats are almost flour consistency with a few big pieces left.
  • Add flour, applesauce, coconut oil, banana, sweet potato and egg to bowl of food processor.
  • Pulse a few times to break up cooked sweet potato and move ingredients around.
  • Run food processor for a minute or two until dough looks uniform.
  • Sprinkle the countertop with a few tablespoons of flour, then turn the dough out onto the countertop. (The dough will be sticky. If it is too sticky to roll out, work a few more tablespoons of flour into the dough until you are able to work with it)
  • Roll the dough out to roughly 1/8" thick on a floured surface. Sprinkle the top of the dough with a little extra flour and flour the rolling pin.
  • Dip the cookie cutter into a bit of flour, then cut treats out with cookie cutter and place on baking sheet. Bake for 16 - 18 minutes, rotate tray halfway through.
  • Cool completely before giving to your dog.

Notes

The dough is a little sticky, so if you live in a humid climate like I do, you will have to add extra flour to work the dough.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it is too sticky to roll out, this should also help.
