Sweet Potato Dog Biscuits
Story behind the recipe: I wanted to make a low-sugar and fresh dog treat for my spoiled pups. Even my finicky eater loves these.
Description of the dish: These dog biscuits are super easy to make and use healthy ingredients. You can use carrots instead of sweet potatoes depending on your pup's preference. As good as these look, remember that these are for dogs.
This recipe makes 35 servings (depending on cookie cutter size).
Time to prep: 10 minutes
Time to cook: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 sweet potato
- 2.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

Cooking Instructions:
