3 cups flour (AP [all purpose] or whole wheat if your dog can tolerate) 1 cup old fashioned oats 1/4 cup ground flaxseed (optional if necessary) 1/2 cup chicken broth (I use the Simple Truth Fat Free brand) 1 egg (beaten) 3/4 cup pumpkin puree (canned food aisle) 3/4 cup cooked sweet potato Medium size lid/anything you can find to form treat shape
Rest in Peace, my pretty girl <3
DIRECTIONS Step one:(clean sweet potato/pierce with knife in multiple spots to allow even cooking/microwave for 6 minutes) >Gather the dry ingredients into a medium size mixing bowl (top 3 ingredients) Tip: Mix together with whisk or sift if you have a sifter machine thingy [clearly I do not, HAH!]
Step two:(preheat oven to 350 degrees/lightly grease any size baking sheet) >Beat one egg in a regular size bowl (heh) & add chicken broth to the same bowl Tip: Heat chicken broth in microwave for 30 seconds
Step three: >Open can of pumpkin puree and remove sweet potato from microwave. >Measure and put 3/4 cup of pumpkin puree in small bowl//Cut sweet potato in half and measure 3/4 cup of sweet potato. >Mix the two ingredients into a blended/mushy consistency.
Step four: >Add wet ingredients into the medium mixing bowl. >Continue to mix until you have a solid consistency. This part is the most difficult; the mix is similar to a biscuit recipe so it will be dry & stubborn. >Form the dough into a round ball Look for cracks in the ball you formed and try to mend them [similar to a broken heart</3]
Step five: >Begin to roll or press the dough into a flat formation [it doesn't have to be a perfect circle] > Start cutting out your treats and place each one on your lightly greased baking sheet Side Note: You can use multiple baking sheets to bake all treats at once or do them in separate batches
Step six: >BAKE THESE LIL' TREATS FOR 30 MINUTES [refrain from opening the oven as much as possible...I know it's hard] >Allow them to completely cool before serving to your dedicated doggy//store in sealed container
