Description
These sweet potato muffin treats are a wholesome, homemade snack for your dog. Made with natural ingredients, they offer a tasty way to reward your furry friend while providing beneficial nutrients.
Ingredients
– 1 medium sweet potato, baked and mashed (about 1 cup)
– 1 large egg
– 2 tablespoons unsweetened peanut butter (ensure it’s xylitol-free)
– 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or substitute with oat flour for gluten sensitivity)
– 1/4 cup water (adjust as needed for batter consistency)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper cups or lightly greasing it.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, egg, and peanut butter until smooth.
3. Gradually stir in the whole wheat flour, adding water as needed until a thick, well-mixed batter forms.
4. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tin cups.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Remove from the oven and allow the treats to cool completely before serving to your dog.
Notes
– Always ensure that all ingredients are safe for your dog (avoid any with xylitol or harmful additives).
– Serve these treats as an occasional snack and not as a meal replacement.
– Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
– You may substitute whole wheat flour with an alternative if your dog has dietary sensitivities.
