Make your dog’s day by baking some healthy, 3 ingredient, wheat-free & dairy-free Sweet Potato Dog Treats!

It’s not only me that loves sweet potatoes. My dog Chester does too. Whenever I cook them I always share some with him.
He loves my Peanut Butter & Banana Dog Cookies but I decided to change things up a bit and make him some with sweet potato. It was a good decision because he goes absolutely nuts for these Sweet Potato Dog Treats.
Because he enjoys them so much I thought that those of you with dogs might appreciate the recipe too. With only three ingredients they are super easy to make and are much healthier for your dog than many of the store bought, processed varieties available.
SWEET POTATOES
Sweet potatoes are not only very nutritious for us, they are also extremely good for your dog. They are full of vitamins and minerals and are also high in antioxidants which aid healing and help to protect against cancer. They are also a great source of dietary fibre which is good for your dog’s digestive system and bowels.
Chester suffers from chronic ear infections and we have been advised by our vet to not feed him anything with wheat in it as it can make the problem worse. Because of this I usually make his cookies with oats as the grain component.
OATS
Oats are a well tolerated grain for most dogs and rarely trigger allergies. They contain anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties and are rich in silicon which helps make bones strong. They help prevent high blood pressure and clogged arteries and boost the immune system.
HOW TO MAKE THESE SWEET POTATO DOG TREATS
These Sweet Potato Dog Treats are very easy to make.
- Process the oats in a food processor until they are like coarse flour
- Add the sweet potato and coconut oil
- Process until well combined and add just enough water to bring it all together into a dough
- Roll out with a rolling pin, then cut into cookies with a cookie cutter or just use a pizza cutter to cut into pieces.
- Bake
That’s it! So easy!
This is the food processor that I use when making this recipe. It handles dough like this really well:
And here are some super cute dog cookie cutters:
MODERATION IS KEY
As with all cookies, remember that moderation is key (as much as your dog might disagree!) These cookies are designed as a treat and should not be fed as a complete meal.
If you make these Sweet Potato Dog Treats for your dog, Chester and I would love to know what they both think of them. You can leave your feedback in the comments below and rate the recipe by hitting the yellow stars. I would love it if you could share some pictures with me too. I want to see your fur-babies eating their cookies! I am @avirtualvegan on Instagram and Twitter. If you use the hashtag #avirtualvegan I won’t miss them.
Oh, and if you love sweet potato too, treat yourself with these Vegan Sweet Potato Pancakes with Caramel Sauce. They are divine!
Sweet Potato Dog Treats
Ingredients
- 180g | 2 cups rolled oats or quick oats
- 100g | ½ cup cooked sweet potato
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 - 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Add the oats to a food processor and process until they are a course flour like consistency.
- Add the cooked sweet potato and the coconut oil.
- Process until well combined.
- Add the water 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing in between each addition, until the mixture can be squeezed into a dough with your fingers,
- Tip out and knead together a bit so it's all in a big firm ball.
- Roll out to about 3 - 4 mm thick. I rolled mine out on a silicone mat but if you don't have one you might need to sprinkle some flour on the surface to stop the dough sticking. If your dog is wheat intolerant be sure to use oat flour (just process a few more oats until they are flour). You can also roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper if you prefer.
- Cut out into cookie shapes using a cookie cutter or just cut the dough into even pieces with a knife or pizza cutter.
- Carefully transfer the cookies to a cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes. Keep an eye on them towards the end as they go from ok to slightly over done very quickly.
- Cool on a cooling rack and store in an airtight container.

February 22, 2019 at 5:27 amIt states that these are wheat free and dairy free yet in the instructions in number 7 it says ……If your dog is wheat intolerant be sure to use oat flour (just process a few more oats until they are flour). Are these wheat free or not?
A Virtual Vegan says
February 22, 2019 at 12:37 pmThey are wheat and dairy free. All they contain are oats, sweet potato and coconut oil. If you use gluten-free certified oats then they will also be gluten-free. What I am referring to in step 7 is the flour you use to dust the surface before rolling the dough out, not what’s in the actual cookies. If you need them to be wheat free then you can’t roll them out on wheat flour. You would need to use oat flour or another wheat free flour.

January 27, 2019 at 4:15 pmMy pitbull Emmie Lou has been diagnosed with liver disy and she can’t have a lot of protein. Veggies she can have. These treats are perfect for her. Thank you for this great recipe. She loves them!

January 2, 2019 at 2:32 pmMy Dog Loves These…Will be making on a regular basis! Thank You so Much.
Kate says
December 14, 2018 at 12:00 pmI have just made your delicious dog treats.Having only 3 ingredients: oats, sweet potato, and coconut oil, your dog treats are very successful. I still need information on how long to store them, please. I will be giving them out as holiday snack bags for my neighbor’s dogs. How long can they be safely kept in the tin? Thank you, Cate
A Virtual Vegan says
December 14, 2018 at 1:48 pmAs long as you baked them until they are pretty dried out they will keep for months and months in an airtight container. I hope the neighbors dogs enjoy them!

Debra Lombardo says
September 18, 2018 at 10:00 amI made a batch for my two very picky allergy dogs. They loved them. Since they are both allergic to oats, I substituted the oats with millet flour. Thank you very much for sharing your recipe.
A Virtual Vegan says
September 18, 2018 at 12:08 pmIt’s good to know it works with millet flour too. So pleased they enjoyed them!
Didi says
September 13, 2018 at 2:54 amI made these and my dog loves them. I’m always keen to find simple recipes, otherwise I put it off and just buy them but I prefer to keep everything homemade and healthy. I love making home baked treats for my dog and my kids. My kids also thought these cookies looked good but I made them other cookies!
Vegan Rabbit Mom says
June 30, 2018 at 6:59 pmI used this recipe, as an idea, to make a nutritious food cookie, for my pet rabbits. They refuse to eat rabbit pellets, or hayy. I even got them Orchard grass pellets made for horses, and they wouldn’t eat those.. I was giving them HALO vegan dog food, which they love, but they raised the price of a 4 pound bag to $20! I can’t afford that, so I studied the ingredients, and decided to try and make my own easy to feed food for them. I found this recipe, while trying to figure out how to do that. Here’s what I did. I took a cup & a half of the orchard pellets they won’t eat, & buzzed them up as fine as I could in a blender. Then I dumped it in a big bowl, & added 1 cup of potato flour (non grain because rabbits shouldn’t eat seeds). Then, I go outside and clip a few leaves off my comfrey plant, and yarrow plants, and some broad leaf grass, dandelion, and or clover leaves. I cut all the greenery up into small pieces into the blender. I buzz them up as fine as I can get, then I add 20 Blueberries, 1/2 a cup of applesauce, (for fruits), and 1/2 a cup of pumpkin or sweet potato & a handful of spinach (vegetable + the potato flour in the dry bowl), a tbs of molasses a sprinkling of pink salt & 2 cups of water. Then I blend it up again on the liquefy setting. I pour the wet into the dry and mix until there’s no dry “flour” showing. Then I use an Ice Cream scoop, to scoop & drop some of the mixture onto a silicon mold with each cell looking like those Easter Peeps rabbits. (Rabbit shaped cookies for rabbits) I bake them at slightly. over 350 degrees for 20 minutes. My two rabbits LOVE them, & they get them to eat their pellets! I vary them, depending on which fruits & veggies I have on hand. These are way less expensive, than the vegan dog food, and mimic a wild rabbit’s diet better, with fruits, herbs/herbaceous plants aka leaves, & veggies, which are rarely found in commercial rabbit foods. I keep them refrigerated, because they are semi moist because of all the fruits, veggies & herbs. Rabbits may eat grass or hay, but they’re not grazers, and should be eating a mostly leafy diet. In addition to these cookies, which they get 3x a day, they get vegan kitchen scraps, such as: baked potato or sweet potato skins, squash rinds, carrot peelings, lettuce spines, and garden “waste”, like radish, turnip or parsnip tops, corn, bean or pea plant leaves, blackberry & Crown Vetch leaves, Wood Sorrel, Flowering Quince leaves, etc. These cookies, also help them have nutrient dense food in the winter. I dry and buzz up comfrey leaves & other leaves, to store & make these in the winter for them. I can use canned sweet potato, pumpkin & applesauce. On rare trips to the grocery store in the winter, I can get fresh or frozen ingredients to use.
A Virtual Vegan says
July 1, 2018 at 11:34 amWow, I had no idea when I created them that rabbits would enjoy a twist on them! I have some readers who make them for their cats too!
Melony Levy says
April 17, 2018 at 6:40 amI have 4 Dark Fawn Chihuahuas, 3 of them being very finicky eaters, 2 with allergies, and 1 that is slightly overweight. I made these Sweet Potatoe Dog Treats but because I didn’t have any coconut oil and I find olive oil to be quite heavy and dense when baking , I replaced the oil WITH 2 Tbls of PEANUT BUTTER which I had seen you had recommended as a possibility for substitutions in a previous comment. ALL of my dogs LOVED them!!! So I decided to make another batch but instead of peanut butter I used 2 Tbls of APPLE SAUCE but still added a teaspoon of olive oil mainly to prevent sticking to the pan. The oil could probably be omitted if you choose to use a nonstick spray but I like the end result as is. Thank you for the wonderful recipe and my dogs thank you as well. Using this as a base, there are just so many variations that can be made. I will be making many, many more!
A Virtual Vegan says
April 17, 2018 at 9:32 amYou have your hands full with 4 bundles of love! I’m so glad they enjoyed them. And yes, this recipe is really flexible. We make all kinds of variations for Chester. Our dogs are very lucky! Thank you for coming back to leave feedback. It’s much appreciated!
Jo says
April 14, 2018 at 1:00 pmI just made a batch of these for my two cockers they absolutely loved them,, the recipe is so natural and easy! I added pureed carrot and coriander to the recipe and baked them for a tad longer (30 mins) . Trouble is I have eaten a third of them and will have to make some more!!!!
Great wholesome natural recipe thank you!!
A Virtual Vegan says
April 14, 2018 at 3:15 pmHa ha! So glad you and your dogs are enjoying them. I must admit to stealing Chester’s on occasion too!
Linda Barry says
April 10, 2018 at 10:23 amJust wanted to say thank you for sharing this recipe, I have two kerry blue terriers and I’m always looking for healthier options for them,they really loved them. So quick and easy to make. Thanks a million.
A Virtual Vegan says
April 10, 2018 at 10:45 amYou’re welcome Linda. I’m so glad your dogs are enjoying them!
Lynnea says
April 9, 2018 at 9:05 pmI was wondering if anyone has frozen these? I was thinking about making them for a craft fair & it would be nice to make them ahead & freeze them.
A Virtual Vegan says
April 9, 2018 at 11:13 pmThere is no need to freeze them. They keep for months in a sealed container so you can make them well in advance if you need to. I make Chester a massive batch about once every 2-3 months and they are still perfect come the end. Just make sure you bake them until they are really dry and hard so here is no moisture left in them.
Lisa says
March 24, 2018 at 6:44 amCould I substitute the coconut oil for another oil you would recommend?
A Virtual Vegan says
March 24, 2018 at 10:32 amI haven’t tried it but I would imagine any other oil would work. Olive oil or flax seed oil would probably be good choices. You could probably even get away with using 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. If you do though be sure it is one with no additives. Peanuts should be the only ingredients. There are some additives in some peanut butters that are toxic to dogs and a lot of them have salt in too which isn’t advised. Hope that helps!
Lynne says
March 21, 2018 at 4:59 pmI just made these sweet potato dog treats. I love making them as they are so quick and easy. Your tips on using a food processor and rolling the dough out using parchment paper made this task so simple. Clean up was a breeze. I have a 3 1/2 year old German Shepherd Dog, weighing 90 lbs. I have been making Ty’s dog food for years, but just started making his treats, as he has developed some allergies and I want to know everything he puts in his mouth. I have made several treats, but none came out so perfect as these and he just loves them! Because, Ty, is a large dog he goes through treats quicker than his smaller doggie friends and I need to be able to make them as fast as he eats them, of course, he also shares them with his playmate friends. This is one recipe I can double up and make quickly.
But… the best part is I enjoy watching him crunch away on his new treats. This recipe is now our#1 top treat to make.
A Virtual Vegan says
March 21, 2018 at 9:03 pmOh Lynne that’s great! I am thrilled you and Ty like them so much and thank you for coming back to leave feedback. I really appreciate it. If Ty fancies a chance at any point I have a Peanut butter Banana Cookie recipe that he might like too. You can find it here https://avirtualvegan.com/peanut-butter-dog-cookies-2/

Charlotte Campbell says
February 17, 2018 at 7:59 pmI made the Sweet Potato Dog Treats. My 2 year old Cane Corso loves them. I will be trying more of your recipes, I like knowing what I’m putting in my baby’s body. Thank you from both, Samson and myself.
A Virtual Vegan says
February 17, 2018 at 8:54 pmI’m so glad Samson enjoyed them. Thank you for coming back to let me know. I really appreciate it!

Marina says
February 10, 2018 at 9:23 pmAfter all the horrible news lately re: what is not good for our 4 legged friends ( chicken necks: & supermarket brand treats) I was so happy to find a simple and safe recipe for treats for my 5 month old puppy.
He made no hesitation in trying one before it cooled down.

Amy says
January 19, 2018 at 1:41 pmHi, I’m really excited to try this recipe because my chocolate lab is allergic to wheat and a lot of other grains but can eat oats. I was wondering if I could add some blueberries or other fruit to it because Kodi loves sweet potato mixed with blueberries. Thanks!
A Virtual Vegan says
January 19, 2018 at 5:03 pmChester loves blueberries too! He likes to eat frozen ones as treats. Yes you could add them to these cookies but if you add them to the food processor they will get blitzed up which you and Kodi might not mind, and if you don’t add them to the food processor the dough is really, really stiff so it will be hard to mix them in. If you do blitz them up you might need to add a little more oat flour to firm the dough up enough to roll it out. I suppose you could make the cookies and just push a few blueberries into the dough after you have rolled it out too. Chester likes to eat the dough uncooked like cookie dough balls so you could give Kodi some like that as well with some blueberries pushed in. The dough will keep uncooked in the fridge for a week. A few options for you! Cooked apple in place of the sweet potato works too and would be great with the blueberries.
Alice says
January 10, 2018 at 4:51 pmMy Benji has been diagnosed with chronic kidney failure. I want to give him treats but they have to be low on protein and phosphorus. Is your sweet potato good or any suggestions. He also does not have many teeth left and son a vet prescribed renal suppot diet food.
Thanks
A Virtual Vegan says
January 10, 2018 at 7:39 pmPoor Benji. So sorry to hear that. There is about 1 gram of protein per cookie. I have no idea about phosphorus levels though. I have a feeling oats may be quite high? If sweet potatoes are ok, then you could make the cookies with refined white flour instead of oats if necessary. It will be more absorbent than oat flour so you will probably find that you need to add a little extra water to bring the dough together. Any cooked soft vegetable pureed up would work instead of the sweet potato if you need to swap that out too.
Chester absolutely loves frozen blueberries as a treat. I just googled them and they are apparently good because they are full of fibre and low in phosphorus and sodium. You might want to see if Benji likes them. He could have fresh ones if he can’t manage chewing up the frozen ones. Kale stalks are a popular treat here too if the lack of teeth don’t cause difficulties.
After writing this, I did just find this http://dogaware.com/health/kidneytable.html It seems to suggest that sweet potatoes might be ok? Looks like oats aren’t though. Cooked macaroni looks like it could be an option as a treat. It might give you some more ideas.
Sorry I can’t be of more help and I wish you both all the best.
Anj says
December 19, 2017 at 11:29 pmThank you for your this recipe! I added two tbsp of flaxseed meal (and a little more sweet potato) and substituted the water with apple cider vinegar. My boy sat in the kitchen and watched the whole process. I used a bone cookie cutter and was able to stamp his initial in the middle too. They looked great and he was very excited to try his first one (it was gone in a blink!).
A Virtual Vegan says
December 20, 2017 at 12:53 pmAaaw so glad he likes them! Love that he has his initials on them. So cute!
Alicia says
December 16, 2017 at 12:40 pmCan these be frozen? How long do they last? Do they need to be refrigerated?
A Virtual Vegan says
December 16, 2017 at 4:49 pmI have never tried freezing them. You probably could freeze them prior to baking. I would imagine if you did after they were baked they would get a bit soggy. And no they don’t need refrigerating. Just keep them in an airtight container. They last like that for months.
Kimmie says
March 24, 2018 at 5:59 pmI always freeze my baked dog treats, and so far have not had any become soggy
A Virtual Vegan says
March 24, 2018 at 7:45 pmThese cookies will not become soggy. They are really dry and hard and last for a couple of months in a sealed jar. There is no need to freeze them.
Shari Klinkerfuss says
December 12, 2017 at 12:46 pmMy dogs love sweet potatoes for a snack, I have wanted to make them dog treats made with sweet potatoes instead of buying them already made which are so expensive. I will try these and let you know how they turn out. Also I have a dehydrator any ideas for it! Thanks
A Virtual Vegan says
December 12, 2017 at 1:17 pmI hope your dogs enjoy them! I have never used a dehydrator but I bet you could cut thick slices of sweet potato and dehydrate them so they are really tough and chewy. Apple slices too. I have done it in the oven but I bet the dehydrator would do a better job!
Kimmie says
March 24, 2018 at 6:03 pmI do sweet potatoes in dehydrator weekly for my pup, they’re her favorite treat! I cut them about 1/4”, and then depending on width of the potato (I live in ththe south and we get big sweet potatoes down here!) , I cut the slices in half. My dog likes hem chewy so I start checking after about 6 hours, then it’s just to your dog’s liking of chewy, crisp, or in between! And of course u can cut how vet u want, but I find the 1/4” thickness works best regardless of if sliced lengthwise, width wise etc!
Hailey A says
December 7, 2017 at 6:11 pmMy chocolate lab ended up having a blood clot on her spine and I feel absolutely terrible having to force her to take her medication! So I made these, didn’t have normal oatmeal so I used some baked apple instant oatmeal and she loves it! I poke a hole in the treat, put her treat in and she’ll gobble it all down. Thank you!
A Virtual Vegan says
December 8, 2017 at 10:55 amAaaww the poor thing. Having had 2 blood clots in my leg this year I can really sympathize with her. They are incredibly painful. I’m so glad my treats are helping and I hope she makes a full recovery soon!
Ronaye says
October 26, 2017 at 8:40 pmCould you use canned pumpkin in place of the sweet potato in this recipe? I made your banana/peanut butter ones instead, because I wasn’t sure.
Love your easy dog recipes! I’m already a FAN????????
A Virtual Vegan says
October 28, 2017 at 2:41 pmI don’t see why not. It might be a little wetter though so just use 3/4 of the amount to start and add a little more gradually if needed to bring it all together. I actually have a pumpkin cookie that I make Chester and haven’t posted it. I need to get on that! So glad you (and your dog/s) are enjoying the recipes!
Dedria says
September 27, 2017 at 5:34 pmAre these treats crunchy or chewy? Can I use olive oil instead of coconut oil?
A Virtual Vegan says
September 27, 2017 at 5:59 pmThey turn out pretty hard. Not chewy at all. I have never tried them with olive oil. I would imagine it would work ok although the quantity might need to be adjusted a little. In my experience though dogs aren’t as keen on the taste of olive oil as they are coconut oil so that’s something to consider.
Katherine says
July 31, 2017 at 2:26 pmMade a batch of these for our three grown dogs and the litter of 5 week old puppies currently staying in my dining room. Everyone loves them and I love that I know that puppy’s first treats are healthy and safe.
A Virtual Vegan says
July 31, 2017 at 3:59 pmAaaww that’s lovely! I’m so glad they were a hit. Thank you for letting me know!
Vannia says
July 28, 2017 at 5:36 pmHow long do these cookies keep? How can I store them?
A Virtual Vegan says
July 28, 2017 at 5:38 pmJust store them in an airtight container. They keep for about a month, probably even longer.
Patty says
June 22, 2017 at 10:49 amI have a new little fur baby and this is the first try and making treats for her.
The recipe is so easy and they smelled so good that I tried one.
Waiting for puppy to wake up and try them.

May 24, 2017 at 7:42 pmMy dog is allergic to flax, oats and rice…What can i use in place of oats? Thanks
A Virtual Vegan says
May 24, 2017 at 10:24 pmI haven’t tried them with anything other than oats but I am sure that as long as you stick to the same quantity (180g), any flour would work. You might just need a little more or less water as the absorbency will be slightly different. Good luck!

Caryann says
December 5, 2016 at 6:30 pmDo you bake them? If so how high on preheating oven and for how long to cook them?
A Virtual Vegan says
December 5, 2016 at 8:06 pmAll of the cooking instructions are given in my post with the recipe. They need to be cooked on 350°F for 20 – 25 minutes.
Hannah McIntyre says
September 9, 2016 at 3:18 pmI just made these for my lab and beagle mix. I usually give them dehydrated sweet potato chews, but since this recipe didn’t call for flour (which I don’t like feeding to my dogs) I decided to give them a try. My dogs went NUTS over them! I made a big batch in Halloween shapes to last us through fall. Thank you for the recipe!!!
A Virtual Vegan says
September 9, 2016 at 5:06 pmThat’s fantastic! I am so glad your dogs enjoyed them. They might also like my Peanut Butter and Banana Cookies. They are oat based too. Chester actually prefers them to the sweet potato ones although my taste testers at the dog park liked both! Thanks for stopping by to let me know…I like the thought of happy dogs eating my cookies :O)

May 27, 2016 at 1:02 pmMy dog Molly went crazy for these! I halved the ingredients because I don’t give her treats very often and didn’t want any to go to waste. They were super easy to make and smell oddly amazing! Molly says thanks :-)
