Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz whitefish fillet, cooked thoroughly and flaked (gentle, easily digestible protein)
- 1 cup sweet potato, mashed smooth (natural sweetness and soothing fiber)
- 1/4 cup oat flour (gentle binding and digestible carbohydrates)
- 1 egg, beaten to room temperature (binding protein and richness)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (healthy fats for coat and golden finish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease mini muffin tin thoroughly—proper preparation creates perfect individual portions.

- Add oat flour and beaten egg, mixing until mixture holds together beautifully without being dense or heavy.
- Scoop mixture into greased mini muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full for perfect rise and presentation.
- Drizzle tops with olive oil for beautiful golden finish and added healthy fats.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until set and lightly browned—if your pup can wait that long for bakery-worthy treats!
- Cool completely in pan before removing (always let cool completely for proper setting and safety).
