Sweet Potato Pumpkin Patch Biscuits (Dog-Safe Recipe)
📝 Ingredients
1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato (no salt or seasoning)
½ cup pure pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 egg
2½ cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour for sensitive dogs)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for healthy fats)
Water as needed
🧑🍳 Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix mashed sweet potato, pumpkin purée, egg, and coconut oil until smooth.
Gradually add flour, mixing until a firm dough forms. Add a little water if the dough feels too dry.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface (about ¼ inch thick).
Cut into fun shapes using cookie cutters—or simple squares work just fine.
Place biscuits on the tray and bake for 30–35 minutes, until firm.
Turn off oven and let biscuits sit inside for 10–15 minutes for extra crunch.
Cool completely before serving.
