Homemade Sweet Potato Dog Treats

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 45 mins | Total: 60 mins | Quantity: 40 biscuits

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 a large carrot – grated
  • 3 cups wholemeal flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 – 1 cup water

Biscuit cutters – I used these and these

Instructions

  1. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into medium sized cubes.  Put into a saucepan, cover with boiling water and simmer for around 15 minutes until soft
  2. Take off the heat, drain, tip into a large bowl and mash
  3. Add the grated carrot and wholemeal flour and stir together with a large spoon or rubber spatula
  4. Beat the egg with 3/4 cup water and add to the bowl.  Stir together to form a dough, adding a splash more water if the dough is too dry.  You want a pastry like consistency that's easy to roll out
  5. Tip onto a work surface and knead to bring to a smoothish dough
  6. Preheat the oven to 160 Fan / 180 C / 350 F / Gas 4 and line 2-3 baking trays with parchment or a silicon mat
  7. Dust some flour over your work surface then roll out the dough to about 1/2 cm thick.  If you want a crisper biscuit roll out so it's a little thinner - you'll also get more biscuits!
  8. Cut into whatever shape you (or your pup!) fancy and gently lift onto your baking trays.  Re-roll any trimmings and keep cutting out till you've used up all the dough
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes then cool completely before storing in a sealed container.  These keep for around 5 days at room temp or up 1 week in the fridge
  10. These also freeze really well so don't worry you have to give your pup them all at once (even if they WOULD eat them!)
