Dog Oatmeal Cookies
This is my very first endeavor at homemade dog treats, so the measurements may not be totally exact…
Ingredients:
1/2 – 2/3 cup cooked (baked/boiled/microwaved) sweet potato (with or without skin)
1 medium carrot (or 3-4 baby carrots), raw – shredded
1/2 cup chunky “raw” peanut butter (ground up plain roasted peanuts. If you can’t find any, peanut butter with no or little added salt/sugar will do)
3/4 cup unbleached flour (or whole wheat one, or brown rice one)
1/2 cup plain oatmeal
1 medium/large egg
1 tsp brown sugar
dash of honey
1 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients until a homogenous mixture forms (if mixture is too wet, add some more flour or oatmeal gradually until mixture is sticky but not at all runny)
3. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil.
4. Using a small ice-cream scoop, scoop balls from the mixture and place about 1 inch apart on cookie sheet. You can press them down and shape up in whatever shape you like
5. Bake for about 20-30 min, or until golden brown-ish.
6. Let cool down and feed to beloved pooches.
These can also be refrigerated for about a week or frozen for 4-5 months.
