Vegan Sweet Potato & Coconut Sticks – A Chewy Delight for Your Dog!
Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato, cooked and mashed – Sweet potatoes are packed with fiber and beta-carotene, which help with digestion and immunity.
- 1 /2 cup coconut flour – Coconut flour adds a boost of fiber and a delicious tropical flavor without any gluten.
- 1 /4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut – The coconut gives a crunchy texture on the outside and is full of healthy fats.
Instructions
- Preheat Your OvenSet your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Sweet PotatoCook and mash the sweet potato until it’s smooth. You want it as creamy as possible to help bind the sticks together.
- Combine IngredientsIn a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, coconut flour, and shredded coconut. Stir until a thick dough forms. If it feels too dry, add a small splash of water to help it come together.
- Shape into SticksScoop out a small amount of dough, roll it between your hands, and shape it into a stick about 2-3 inches long. Place each stick on the baking sheet with a bit of space in between.
- BakeBake the sticks for 20-25 minutes, or until they’re firm and golden on the edges. For a crispier texture, turn off the oven and let them sit inside as it cools.
- Cool CompletelyLet the sticks cool fully before serving. By now, your dog will likely be waiting in the wings, giving you those “please hurry up” eyes.
