Instructions

Step 1: Prep Oven & Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
Pro Tip: Parchment prevents sticking without needing extra oil.

Step 2: Mix Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, sweet potato puree, oat flour, and egg. Mix thoroughly until a dough-like consistency forms.
Pro Tip: If mixture feels too wet, add oat flour 1 tablespoon at a time.

Step 3: Shape & Cut Patties
Press dough out to 1/2-inch thickness on a flat surface. Use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter to press out patties, then carve jack-o’-lantern faces with a butter knife.
Pro Tip: Dip cutter in oat flour to avoid sticking.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Place patties on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and edges are lightly golden.
Pro Tip: Ensure chicken is fully cooked for food safety.

Step 5: Cool completely
Transfer patties to a wire rack and allow to cool completely before serving to your dog.
Pro Tip: Never serve hot treats to prevent oral burns.
