1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—essential for premium treat cleanup!
2. Make sure lamb is completely cooked with no pink areas, then let cool and shred by hand into bite-sized pieces.
3. Mix shredded lamb, mashed sweet potato, oat flour, and egg until evenly combined and mixture holds together when squeezed.
4. Shape mixture into small, bite-sized treats using hands, or use cookie cutters for fun shapes that feel extra special.
5. Place treats on prepared baking sheet and brush tops with melted coconut oil for richness and shine.
6. Bake 15-20 minutes until set and slightly crispy—start checking at 15 minutes to prevent overcooking.
7. Cool completely before serving (patience is key when dealing with premium ingredients).

Notes:

• Always cook lamb thoroughly—no pink should remain for dog safety
• Amber prefers these with a slight chew rather than completely crispy
• If mixture feels too wet, add oat flour one tablespoon at a time

Storage Tips:

• Store in refrigerator in airtight container for up to one week
• Freeze individual treats for up to 3 months—perfect for premium treat portion control
• Don’t leave out on counter—meat and vegetables spoil quickly without preservatives

What Makes This Recipe Special:
