Here’s Steve helping me make some dog treats. Thank you Honey.
So I like to bake, I don’t always get a lot of time to do this. I don’t really need the extra calories either. So for Christmas I made dog biscuits to give away to people we know with dogs. This is probably one of the simplest recipes I’ve found online.
Sweet Potato Dog biscuits
2 1/2 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 Sweet Potato
1/4 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
2 Eggs
Directions:
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Prick the Sweet Potato with a fork and microwave it on high for 6-10 minutes, or until tender. Scrap out the cooked sweet potato and dispose of skin. In a bowl combine 1 cup of cooked sweet potato, and the remaining ingredients. Mix well. Flour your counter and roll the dough out until it is a 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters or simply cut dough into bite size pieces. Place on a greased backing sheet, and cook for 15-25 minutes, or until browned and hardened to biscuit consistency.
I know you’re looking at the baking time and thinking WTF…the baking time depends on how large you make the biscuits. I usually do small inch long bones and they only take about 15 minutes. However, I made some big ones I made took 25 minutes. They do puff up a little bit
So far most of the dogs have loved these biscuits. They are very cheap to make, and are healthier than most doggie treats. Now this doesn’t mean you can feel Fido a ton of treats, but every now and then isn’t bad for them. They don’t have preservatives in them, so don’t expect them to last for ever.
Here’s the link to the original recipe, the only change is the timing:
P.S. If you haven’t checked out allrecipes.com, you need to get into gear. This is one of the best recipe databases I’ve encountered. There’s no need to buy another cookbook, you can probably find a great recipe online.
