If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to the chewy dog treats sold in pet stores this recipe could be the answer. They tend to crumble easily which also means the broken pieces make great training rewards.
Ingredients
- 1 Small Sweet Potato

- 2 Cups Whole meal flour (white is okay if your dog has allergies)
- 1 Cup Rolled Oats

- While the oven is heating, get a large mixing bowl and add the Banana and Sweet Potato. Use a hand masher until they are smooth.
- Add the Carrots, Flour, and Rolled Oats.
- You are looking for a soft dough consistency, so slowly add the applesauce and water while mixing; being careful not to make too wet.
- Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is 3-4mm thick (similar to commercially bought pastry sheets).
- Cut the dough into strips and place on a baking sheet to bake for around 25 minutes.
