Sweet Potato Dog Biscuits
These biscuits use sweet potato and ginger for a simple, aromatic crunch. They are easy to digest and firm enough for training.

Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet potato puree or mashed sweet potato
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix together to form a dough. If the mixture is too dry, add water until you get a pliable dough.
- Roll the dough out in between two layers of parchment paper. The thinner you roll the dough, the crispier the dog treats will be.
- Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 30 minutes, turning the biscuits over half way through.
- Allow to cool before serving.
Substitutions
- Pumpkin puree can be used in place of sweet potato.
- Whole wheat flour works if rice flour is unavailable.
