Sweet Potato & Oat Dog Biscuits
🥜 Ingredients:
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato (about 1 medium sweet potato)
- 1 ½ cups oat flour (or blend rolled oats into a fine flour)
- ½ cup coconut flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mash the sweet potato if not already done. In a large bowl, mix the mashed sweet potato, egg, and applesauce until well combined.

- Place on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until firm and slightly golden.
- Cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze for longer freshness.
