Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, natural peanut butter (xylitol-free!), unsweetened applesauce, and egg. Stir until thoroughly mixed and smooth. The texture should be a thick, paste-like consistency.2 cups Sweet Potato, 1 cup Natural Peanut Butter, 1/4 cup Unsweetened Applesauce, 1 Egg
- Gradually add the whole wheat flour (or oat flour) to the wet mixture. Mix until a stiff dough forms. You may need to lightly flour your hands to handle the dough.2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to create fun shapes, or simply roll small pieces into balls and flatten them slightly with your palm.
- Place the shaped treats onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have a little space between them. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the treats are firm to the touch. They should feel cooked through and not doughy.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the treats cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This is crucial for texture and safety; warm treats can be a choking hazard.
