Ingredients

1 cup Cooked Sweet Potato (Mashed)
2 slices Cooked Bacon (Crumbled) Ensure it's cooked thoroughly and cooled before use.
1/4 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
1 Egg
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour (or Oat Flour for gluten-sensitive dogs)
1/4 cup Cooked Oatmeal (Plain, Unsweetened)

Equipment

- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
Medium Bowl

Method

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a medium bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, unsweetened applesauce, and the egg. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
1 cup Cooked Sweet Potato (Mashed), 1/4 cup Unsweetened Applesauce, 1 Egg
Gradually whisk in the whole wheat flour (or oat flour) until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour (or Oat Flour for gluten-sensitive dogs)
Gently fold in the crumbled cooked bacon and the plain cooked oatmeal until evenly distributed throughout the dough. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
2 slices Cooked Bacon (Crumbled), 1/4 cup Cooked Oatmeal (Plain, Unsweetened)
Drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. You can gently flatten them with the back of the spoon if desired.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the treats are golden brown and they feel firm to the touch.
Remove the treats from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving them to your dog.

Notes

Store cooled treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2-3 months. Feed in moderation.
