By Our adventure took in my kitchen over the weekend. How does homemade sweet potato sunflower seed butter biscuits sound? Xena anxiously waited for the first batch for tasting. When I gave her two to taste, she took them carefully to her private place and savored them. Then, she ran back to me for more!
Ingredients:
2 1/2 c spelt flour (or your choice)
1 c mashed organic sweet potato
4 tbsp sunflower seed butter (or your choice)
1 tbsp ground roasted flaxseed (optional)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 eggs
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C).
- Add all ingredients into a mixing bowl then whisk. Add water as needed to help make the dough workable, but the dough should be dry and stiff. (I only needed to add 2 tbsp at the most.)
- Roll the dough into a 1/2 to 3/4 -inch thick roll. Use cookie cutters to cut out cookies. (I used 1-inch cookie cutters as in the picture below)
- Bake in preheated oven until hard, about 35-40 minutes depending on your oven capacity.
This recipe made a little over 70 biscuits. I am not a baker but I enjoy making Xena homemade biscuits during the holiday season because it feels good to feed her something I prepared. These biscuits are loaded with vitamins and Omega-3. Xena treating homemade treats more special is a bonus. She knows they are made with love. ♡

Thank you for dropping by!
Is it bad if Baby Jack gets snacks which are basically the same recipe as dog treats?
Ha Ha!! It just means we should all eat well including pups! 😄 By the way, Baby Jack looks just like you in the last IG photo but much cuter, of course. 😉
Much, much cuter. 😀
Lucky Xena!! Those cookies look delicious! Do you think I could eat it?? 😋😋😋
Of course! I had a couple. 😊
Thanks for the recipe – it really is nice to make something for the dog, if only to know where everything you’re giving her came from!
You’re welcome, Sarah! I just started doing it but couldn’t agree more. 🙂
They look delicious! I see others asked if they can be fed to humans as well as that’s what I was going to ask. Looking at the ingredients, they seem very healthy. I seem to remember that spelt flour may be tolerated better than ordinary wheat flour for people with gluten problems, or perhaps I am wrong about that.
Thank you, Jane! You are absolutely right about that. That’s why I use spelt flour in my cooking instead of ordinary flour. I am not allergic to gluten but I self-diagnosed that I am gluten intolerant. I find spelt flour easy to digest. Since that’s what I have available, that’s what Xena gets. 😊 I tried couple of them and they taste bland to me but I don’t want to add salt in her food. Dogs can get a lot of health issues humans get including high blood pressure. Xena seems to love them as is so I plan to keep the recipe as is. 😊
