1. Prep your workspace – Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (essential for these potentially sticky treats).
2. Clean and process liver – Rinse chicken liver under cold water, pat completely dry, then blend in food processor until completely smooth (about 2-3 minutes of processing).
3. Add sweet potato – Add thinly sliced sweet potato to the processor with the liver and blend until smooth and well combined.
4. Complete the mixture – Add whole wheat flour, egg, and melted coconut oil to processor, then blend until you get a thick, smooth paste that holds together nicely (about 3-4 minutes total).
5. Shape your snacks – Using a spoon, scoop quarter-sized portions onto prepared baking sheet, then gently flatten each with the back of a spoon to about 1/4 inch thick.
6. Bake to perfection – Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are crispy and centers are firm to the touch (they’ll continue firming as they cool).
7. Cool completely – This step is crucial for safety and proper texture—let snacks cool completely before offering to your eager pup.

Notes:

• Always let cool completely before serving—hot liver treats can burn your dog’s mouth
• Start with small amounts if your dog hasn’t had liver before—it’s very rich and nutrient-dense
• Amber goes absolutely crazy for these, but every dog’s reaction might vary with the intense liver flavor

Storage Tips:

• Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days maximum due to fresh organ meat
• Don’t leave these out—fresh liver spoils quickly at room temperature
• Toss immediately if you see any mold or if they develop an off smell
