Servings: 30 Dog Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups old fashioned rolled oats divided
- 1/2 medium banana
- 1 cup cooked sweet potato see note
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease baking sheet.
- Place 1 ½ cups of the oats in chopper, small food processor or blender. Process until ground to a flour texture.
- Mix together banana, sweet potato and egg in mixer. (I used stand mixer with flat beater, could also use hand mixer or food processor.)
- Mix in the oat flour and the remaining ¼ cup of (unground) oats.
- Scoop 1-2 tablespoon portions and roll into balls.
- Flatten with the tines of a fork in a criss-cross pattern or use the rounded end of a wooden spoon to make paw-prints.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes for a softer center.
- Let cool on baking sheet.
- Store in air-tight container in refrigerator or in freezer for longer.
Notes
I microwave a medium-sized sweet potato (pricked 4-5 times with fork) for 5-6 minutes or until tender. Allow to cool until just warm or room temperature. Cut in half and scoop sweet potato out of skin. (discard skin.)

Hi,
Should these be kept in the refrigerator?
How long do they last?
Thank You.
Hi Karen – I do recommend keeping in the refrigerator for several days or the freezer for longer. Take care!
You mention Oat flour and remaining oats, not sure what you mean by oat flour?
Hi Tania! You make the oat flour yourself, by grinding some of the oats in a blender, food processor or chopper. You could alternatively buy already made oat flour. All the directions are in the recipe instructions. Thanks for reaching out! Take Care!
I’m trying this today.
Enjoy Ruth!
Tina, these are also be a great treat for parrots and other large birds when made small. The ingredients are perfect for that.
That’s so great to know Sheila! I think there seems to be lots of crossover with pet treats! Do you have birds?
