Description
Savory, protein-packed biscuits that combine real beef with wholesome vegetables for a tail-wagging treat your dog will absolutely devour
Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 25-30 minutes | Total Time: 50 minutes | Makes: 20 biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 cup lean ground beef, cooked and drained (high-quality protein)
- 1/2 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato (naturally sweet and nutritious)
- 1/4 cup pureed carrots (beta-carotene powerhouse)
- 1/4 cup frozen peas, thawed (plant-based protein boost)
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 egg (completely safe for dogs when cooked)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper – trust me, this step saves cleanup disasters.
- Mix together all ingredients until you have a cohesive mixture that holds together but isn’t too wet – perfect consistency for sturdy biscuits.
- Roll out dough on a floured surface to 1/2 inch thick – thicker than regular cookies because dogs love substantial treats.
- Cut into biscuit shapes using cookie cutters or just make squares – both work perfectly for eager pups.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and firm – they’ll smell absolutely amazing and drive your dog crazy.
- Always let cool completely before serving – hot biscuits can burn sensitive mouths.
Notes:
- Always let cool completely – this is non-negotiable for safety
- These are substantial treats, so adjust serving size for your dog’s weight
- Amber prefers these with a slight chew, but they can be baked longer for crispier texture
Storage Tips:
- Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 1 week
- These actually taste better cold according to most dogs
- Toss if you see any mold – homemade treats spoil faster than commercial ones
