Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Cooked Pumpkin Puree (plain)
  • 1 cup Cooked Sweet Potato (mashed)
  • 1/2 cup Cooked Salmon (flaked, no bones or skin)
  • 1/4 cup Ground Flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon Brewer's Yeast
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Flour (add more 1 tablespoon at a time if dough is too wet)

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • - Baking Sheet
  • - Parchment Paper
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pumpkin puree and mashed cooked sweet potato. Stir them together until well blended into a smooth, consistent base.
    1 cup Cooked Pumpkin Puree (plain), 1 cup Cooked Sweet Potato (mashed)
  2. Add the flaked cooked salmon and ground flaxseed to the pumpkin and sweet potato mixture. Gently mash and mix everything to ensure the salmon is evenly distributed throughout.

  3. Sprinkle in the brewer's yeast and coconut flour. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until a cohesive, slightly sticky dough forms. If the dough feels too wet, add a tiny bit more coconut flour, one tablespoon at a time.
    1 tablespoon Brewer's Yeast, 1/4 cup Coconut Flour
  4. Lightly flour your hands or a clean surface with a bit of coconut flour. Roll small portions of the dough into little balls or flatten them into small discs, about 1/2 inch thick and 1 inch in diameter.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the shaped treats on the sheet, ensuring they don't touch. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the treats are firm to the touch and slightly dried out.
  6. Once baked, remove the treats from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. This step is crucial for them to firm up and become shelf-stable.

Notes

Store cooled treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, or freeze for up to 2-3 months. Reheat gently if desired before serving.
