These wholesome sweet potato treats are packed with nutrients and flavors, making them a delightful snack for both you and your pet. Easy to prepare, they are perfect for a healthy treat option.
Ingredients
1 large sweet potato
1 cup mixed vegetables
1 medium banana
1/2 cup raisins
1 medium diced apple
1 cup oatmeal
as needed water
Method
Begin by gently pricking the sweet potato's skin several times using a knife or skewer. Microwave it on high for 5 to 9 minutes, turning it halfway to ensure uniform cooking. Once cooked, allow it to cool until it can be safely handled.
Once cooled, peel off the skin and place the sweet potato flesh into a large mixing bowl. Incorporate the mixed vegetables, banana, raisins, diced apples, and oatmeal. Using an electric mixer, blend the mixture on high speed until the vegetables are finely chopped and everything is well combined. If the mixture appears too dry, add a little water to achieve a workable consistency.
Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper to prepare for the treats.
Form the mixture into small balls, approximately the size of marbles, and place them on the lined baking sheet. Feel free to share a few with your furry friend before placing the sheet in the freezer until the bites are completely frozen.
After freezing, carefully peel the treats off the parchment paper and store them in a resealable plastic bag. Be sure to thaw them before serving.
