I’m THAT dog mom. I spoil my dogs and make them homemade treats.
Since switching our three to vegan diets, I’m extra cautious about what I feed them, as I want to avoid animal products and any junky fillers. There are several vegan dog treats options available out there. Some of my dogs’ favorites are:
v-dog wigglebiscuits
fruitables
These are our go-tos at the Long Lodge, but I sometimes like to give Anna, Sasha, and Zusi extra special treats for being the best pupperonies in the world.
And that’s when I turn to this simple recipe.
Peanut Butter & Sweet Potato Dog Treats
Vegan peanut butter and sweet potato dog treats perfect for fall. Your dog will be rubbing your noggin and calling you a good hooman if you spoil that pupper with these tasty treats.
Ingredients
- 2 cups oatmeal (rolled, old-fashioned, etc.)
- 1 apple peeled and cored
- 1/4 cup peanut butter *
- 1 large sweet potato baked, peeled, and mashed
- 1 cup flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Add oatmeal to blender or food processor and pulse until a fine oat flour is achieved.
- Add apple, peanut butter, and sweet potato. Blend until incorporated.
- Add flour and pulse until a workable dough is formed.
- Roll out your dough to 1/4 inch thick using either your hands or a roller.
- Cut out desired shapes and transfer to a prepared baking sheet.
- Bake at 325 degrees F for 25 minutes**.
* be extra careful to make sure your peanut butter doesn’t contain xylitol, as that can be harmful to dogs
**bake time will be dependent on size of your cookie cutters. I used these. Alternatively, you can simply use a knife to cut squares, rectangles, triangles, etc.

How long do they last in the fridge?

Hi, Berta! I usually freeze any of the treats that I won’t be using within 5 days and just remove them from the freezer a little before giving them to my pups. These treats contain a lot of moisture, so I wouldn’t let them stay too long in the fridge.

I want tot make this today. Could you please tell me how many cups (1) large sweet potato makes after cooking? Thank you!

Hi there! Somewhere between 1.5 and 2 large sweet potatoes should get you to the one cup mashed mark. Please report back and let me know how it goes!

I thought this recipe looked interesting. I am not a vegan, so I added 1 egg and 3 TBSP of dark molasses to the dough and mixed it well by hand. They turned out terrific and smell amazing!

Hi. Can I use oat flour instead of regular?

I haven’t personally tried this, but I see no reason why that wouldn’t work! You may just have to adjust the amount.

This recipe is hands down a crowd pleaser for my dogs. I didn’t have a cookie cutter so I decided to roll them into tiny little ball sized treats and the dogs absolutely go bonkers for these treats! Thanks for the recipe!

I’m so glad you (and your dogs) love them! Happy pups make me happy. ?

How long do these keep for in the freezer

Great question! My dogs haven’t really let me keep them around long enough to test that out, but I would guess a few months in an airtight freezer safe container. Let me know if you end up freezing them!
