18 Dog Treats
1 medium sweet potato (cooked and mashed)
1 cup oat flour (or blended rolled oats)
1 egg
1 tablespoon natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)
Prep the sweet potato: Peel, cube, and boil or microwave the sweet potato until soft. Mash until smooth and let cool.
Mix ingredients: In a bowl, combine mashed sweet potato, oat flour, egg, and peanut butter. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Shape treats: Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness. Use a bone-shaped cookie cutter for fun shapes.
Preheat air fryer: Set air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Air fry: Place treats in a single layer in the basket. Cook for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until firm and lightly golden.
Cool completely: Let treats cool fully before serving — they will continue to firm up as they cool.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Refrigerate for up to 1 week for extended freshness.
Freeze for up to 3 months in a sealed freezer-safe bag. Thaw before serving.
Small dogs (under 20 lbs): 1 small treat per day
