1. Prep your veggies: Steam green beans until tender, then cool completely and chop finely. Make sure sweet potatoes are thoroughly cooked and mashed smooth.
2. Mix it together: In a large bowl, combine chopped green beans, mashed sweet potato, oat flour, beaten egg, and melted coconut oil until it forms a moldable mixture.
3. Roll and bake: Roll mixture into walnut-sized balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until firm and slightly golden.
4. Cool completely: Let balls cool completely before serving—they’ll firm up more as they cool and be easier for your pup to handle.

Notes:

• Always ensure vegetables are completely cooked and cooled before mixing
• Amber prefers these when they’re completely cooled with a slightly crispy exterior
• Perfect for dogs on weight management programs
• Start with smaller portions if your dog isn’t used to high-fiber treats

Storage Tips:

• Store in refrigerator for up to one week in an airtight container
• Freeze individually for up to 2 months—great for portion control
• Keep daily portions separated to avoid overfeeding
• Toss if you notice any changes in smell or texture
