Method
Step 1: Preheat the oven.
- Set oven to 325°F (165°C) for a slower bake that keeps treats chewy. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the sweet potato.
- Bake, steam, or microwave sweet potato until very soft. Mash until smooth with no lumps.
Step 3: Mix wet ingredients.
- In a bowl, combine mashed sweet potato, egg, and optional coconut oil. Mix thoroughly.
Step 4: Add oat flour.
- Gradually mix in oat flour until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms.
Step 5: Shape the treats.
- Roll dough to about ½-inch thickness and cut into strips, small squares, or chew shapes.
Step 6: Bake.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until set but still soft in the center.
Step 7: Cool completely.
- Transfer to a cooling rack and allow treats to cool fully before serving or storing.
