Every dog owner wants to give their dogs the best they can and will sometimes drive miles and miles to get the food or treats their dog likes best because they don't realize they can make treats for their dogs. These dog treats don't have to be difficult to make and often use ingredients you have in the pantry already. Heck sometimes with the addition of a little extra sweetener you can make half the batch for your dog and half the batch for you!

Ingredients
  • 1 medium-sized sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1¼ cups flour
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Place the peeled and diced sweet potato in a pot and submerge with cold water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the pieces have softened.
  2. Strain the the sweet potatoes, allow to cool, then mash.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, egg, vegetable oil, and milk. Whisk well to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and cinnamon.
  6. Slowly add the flour mixture to the sweet potato mixture, mixing to incorporate.
  7. Grease a baking pan with pan spray. Spoon small amounts of the mixture onto the greased baking pan, creating the “pillows.”
  8. Bake at 350°F for 25-35 minutes, or until the pillows have puffed slightly and begin to brown.
  9. Allow to cool before serving to your pet.
Notes
Your dog will go crazy while these are baking. Dogs love baked sweet potato and cinnamon is unbelievably enticing. Which means the combination of the two cooking in the over will have your dog hovering waiting for a taste. Make sure they cannot get too close to the oven and that when these come out piping hot that if your dog cannot wait a few minutes make sure to break one of these sweet potato cinnamon dog treats apart and blow on it before giving it to your dog.
