During the holidays, everyone enjoys indulging in the special treats that come with this time of year. The smell of holiday treats or the holiday dinner baking makes everyone excited, especially our four-legged friends! Below we’ve gathered a few recipes that you can easily make so that your pet can safely indulge in some holiday treats along with you. Holiday Dog Treats Ingredients 2 cups fresh sweet potato puree 1 eggs 1/2 cup oats 3 cups whole wheat flour 3 Tbsp of all natural peanut butter 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp salt (optional) Instructions Preheat oven to 350°F. Peel and cube two medium sweet potatoes and bring to a boil in pot of water. Reduce to low and simmer approximately 15-20 minutes or until soft. Drain cooked potatoes and puree using blender or food processor. In small bowl, stir together the flour, oats, and cinnamon. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the egg, sweet potato and peanut butter until combined. Stir wet ingredients into dry. Pour onto a floured surface and roll dough out to 1/4 - 3/8 inch thick. Cut out with your favorite cookie cutter. The dough will be a little sticky, dust your hands and the rolling pin with a little flour to help! Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown. Place on cooling racks and let cool thoroughly. They will harden as they cool. Notes: The salt can be added to help extend the shelf life of these treats but is not necessary. Do not use a pumpkin spice blend or anything that may contain nutmeg as it is toxic to dogs, even small amounts. Recipe gathered from: https://lemonsandbasil.com/ homemade-holiday-dog-treats/#recipe

Peppermint Pinwheel Dog Treat Recipe Ingredients 1 medium, overripe banana

2 large eggs 3 tbsp. honey 3 tbsp. liquid coconut oil 1/2 tsp peppermint flavoring

1/2 tsp. baking powder 1 1 /2 + 1/4 c. oat flour 1/4 c. roast carob powder Optional: Natural red food coloring Instructions

In a medium bowl, mash the banana. Beat together with eggs, coconut oil, honey, cinnamon & baking powder. Stir in 1 1/2 c. oat flour. Divide dough into 2 portions, approx. 1 cup each. Add 1/4 carob powder to one portion and 1/4 c. oat flour to the other. Both should form a stiff, non-sticky dough. If desired, color the plain dough with red coloring. Between two layers of plastic wrap, roll out each dough separately to approx 3/8” thick, taking care to roll it as rectangular as possible. Stack dough layers on top of one another. Roll up tightly jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight or until firm. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unwrap dough and slice into 1/4” slices. Place on cookie sheet. These will not spread much, so they can be placed fairly close together. Bake for 13 - 17 minutes. For a crunchier cookie, make your slices 3/8” thick. Bake for 13 - 17 minutes, then reduce heat to 150°F and bake for 3-4 hours until crisp all the way through.
