Thank you for replying. I have a 13 year old Chihuahua and her favorite treats are Greenies. Her diet is boiled chicken breast and one baby carrot. She is very healthy.
I made these yesterday for my dog and had to sample them, lol. They were so good that today I’m having to replace the batch that I mostly devoured yesterday. I exercised portion control for the dog but not for me!! Today I’ll be making one batch for him and one for me so I don’t have to raid his stash! Thank you for the awesome healthy recipe and lovely presentation. This is quality content and I love your kind and gentle demeanor. I’ll be checking out your other content for sure!
Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one who likes snacking on these too 😝! I’m so glad you and your dog love them and it’s lovely to hear that you enjoyed the video so much that you are excited to watch more. Thank you so much for letting me know and for giving the recipe a try! Enjoy 😜!
I made there with a silicone mold and they worked just as well. I made little gift for the neighborhood dogs and little holiday cards to go with them and they all loved them. Happy Holidays.
It’s so great to know that they worked well with a mold. I love how easy those are to use. It’s so nice that you gifted them too! The neighbourhood dogs might come calling after the holidays 😛 have a very happy holiday season!
My chihuahua’s are super pucky and won’t eat anything other than their homecooked food. No treats nothing. I tried this and was surprised to see how much they loved it. Got puppy eyes for more. Crazzyyyyy!!!! Thank youuu!!!
😆 I fancy those myself , I am setting up a doggie tuck shop , all profits raised to support animal sanctuaries. Just said goodbye to my little rescued angel after 14 glorious years together as a family . This is really supporting me through my grief being able to serve others dogs and animals in need and filling me with joy . Thank you for these lovely recipes . I will make these for my dogs 🥰🐶🐾, hugs from Vegan community here in Cornwall, UK 🌻🌴☀
Oh I’m so glad you’re building a community there to help you through your loss 🐾 🤗 and I’m happy to hear this recipe will add to that! Thank you so much for watching and trying them!
About to make some of these!! Gonna make half crunchy and half soft for my elder pup. The older dog is a vizla golden retriever mix and the younger one is a pit lab mix. Both absolutely love treats but the younger one likes cow hooves the most.
Before you even said it, after listing the ingredients I was thinking, 'You could sub out the sweet potato for pumpkin!' So cool! I've been wondering if canned salmon or salmon that comes in a packet could be used in a treat recipe. According to the label it looks like there aren't any potentially harmful ingredients, at least in the brand I buy. But with processed foods (intended and regulated for human consumption) you just never know. Not sure if it's worth the risk.
Great! I’ve heard from quite a few people lately that they always make these with pumpkin 👍🏼 I’ve never tried adding salmon. On a quick google it seemed like it should be fine as long as the salmon is packed in water and the sodium amount isn’t too high. Checking for any small bones was the other suggestion.
Just what I needed for my dog's upcoming 10th Birthday! 🥳 Thank you Ma'am! Great job on the video, and I love that the recipe is pure and real ingredient based. They look adorable!
This couldn't get any easier! Luckily, I decided years ago that I wanted to make homemade dog treats for my neighbour's furrbabies and bought a 3 piece doggie cookie cutter set, Now, with this easy peasy recipe, I can do it! Thank you so much for sharing!
Oh great 👏 👏 I’m so glad you’ll get more use out of those doggie cookie cutters and that you love how easy this recipe is! Thank you so much for letting me know!
Aww too cute!! I LOVE labs 😍 You’ll have to let me know how he likes them!! My mother-in-laws schnauzer loves the pumpkin option as well as the sweet potato! Thanks again for watching 💛
The first batch I made I put in for 15 minutes and they were not as hard and crunchy as I wanted them. My second batch I decided to put them in the food dehydrator and they came out hard and crunchy. Thanks for the recipe.
@@frencheeey oh good a dehydrator is a great way to make these. I find that they do harden a bit after they cool but to get them really crunchy your dehydrator is great. Another trick is to leave them in the oven while the oven cools down. That will really dry them out too. Thank you for trying them and letting me know!
The dehydrate setting on my air fryer convection oven is set at 140 F. I’ve never tried these in there but I could see them being done after about an hour (my seed crackers take 3 hours on dehydrate but there is a much higher water content in those). The first time you make them if you can check them at every half hour then hopefully you can pin the time down for your particular machine. I hope this helps a little!
I’m so glad he loves them! Thank you so much for letting me know you made them and I’m glad you were able to work with the dough better after adding a bit more flour. It is tricky depending on how runny the peanut butter is and how much moisture is in the sweet potato (or pumpkin purée).
Awesome! I have a 4 month old goldendoodle and he got sick when he ate a bone stick. I feel that sometimes those store buys are not usually 100% for your puppies. I am so glad I found you. I'm ready to start making some homemade treats for my boy Knox. Thank you 😊
Oh boy, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea and I will be making it very soon. I hope they like them. If not right off, they'll figure it out and learn to love them. 🙂 Thank you so much.
@@TastyThriftyTimely OMG, Kathryn, these came out SO good, heck I even tried a piece of one, not bad, and my pups loved and lapped them up right from the start. Now I give them an afternoon treat of one each day. The money it's saving me from buying doggie cookie treats in the store is wonderful, and the best part is, I know what's going in them, so that's a big bonus! Thanks again for this recipe. It's definitely a keeper in our villa...YEA! 🤗
@@conishkee this is the best! Thank you so much for letting me know they loved them and you’re loving the savings 🎉 I’m glad they are simple enough that you’ll keep making them (especially if you end up snacking on a few too 😜)!!
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you create these delicious dog treats. I’m so impressed with your video, I’ve and given you a thumbs up too
My puppies loved this recipe so much they yelled at me the whole time I was making them, and didn't shut up until they got to taste test the dough, eat the scraps, lick the bowl and the baker's hands 10/10 would get yelled at by husky mixes again😊
Hahaha this is adorable! Thank you for making my day! I’m so glad they loved it. Thank you for giving it a try and for giving me the cutest visual of your puppies!
They might bake up alright without the pb actually. I haven’t given that a try but typically I suggest another nut or seed butter if possible. Almond butter, sunflower seed butter or tahini which is made from sesame seeds will all work. You could also replace the pb with mashed banana or unsweetened applesauce. You won’t be getting the healthy fats that come from the nut butter and you might just have to add a bit more oat flour in case the batter is too wet but I have heard from a lot of people that they have used applesauce or bananas. I hope one of these suggestions will work for you!
You should've seen our dogs face looking up at us eating up her dog treats as they got done! 😂 These are great, and I added coconut sugar, and cinnamon, and did the easy canned pumpkin version. Sweet potato is next! My dog definitely knew they were hers, and she enjoyed them. Thanks!!
Our Furry Señior shih Tzu "Leonidas" is turning 15 at the end of the month 3/30/24 we're having a little gathering to celebrate so were Having Bison meatballs, these awesome sweet potato treats and homemade 🍓🍌 Yogurt ice cream, for him and his 7 guests, LOL😂😂😂🎉🎈🎊 Thank you for sharing. Be blessed 👍 😉
You’re welcome! I’m so glad they’ve been working well for you! I think I would only leave them out for a couple days just to be sure they don’t turn bad. If you make them really crunchy and dehydrate them quite a bit then they may last a little longer (I still don’t know if I would go past 4 days though). I wouldn’t want a batch to go bad on you but let me know if you push it a bit and what you find.
I have a 13 year old Puggle that I dehydrate duck and chicken feet. We got her as a rescue 7years ago, the vet said she would probably need knee surgery and while waiting for surgery to give her glucosamine capsules. I tried everything to get the capsules in and there was no way. Spit out everyone. I dehydrate tons of stuff so I started with chicken feet then when I can get them duck feet. I also dehydrate chicken liver and chicken hearts for the dog and 2 cats. I would feed them all raw but dehydrated just preserves them. I have to cut the fat off the hearts as they won’t dehydrate as well. I make dog biscuits like these starting with like all cookies bacon fat, mashed yam, shredded cheese and oat flour. I make probably a few hundred at a time, I cook them as hard biscuits, they last longer. I give them out to dogs everywhere. I live in a big city and see a lot of homeless people with dogs and I think they deserve the best treats. My friends at work get bags of treats after every batch.
I’m glad to hear you find the dehydrator helpful for treats. If I end up with an air fryer soon I’ll definitely see how these turn out in there. In the meantime maybe I’ll try the longer oven dehydrating method. Very kind of you to take the time to make treats and gift them (I’m sure all the dogs and humans appreciate it!) 🙂
The only ingredient listed should be peanut butter so hopefully that’s the case with that one! Xylitol is an artificial sweetener that is toxic to dogs so you want to stay away from that for sure!
@@TastyThriftyTimely 👍 I will read the ingredients. I went through all the brands, they all have carbohydrate plus added sugar except only one brand "Skippy " which doesn't contain Added Sugar.
@@Petlover10000 your skippy might have salt and added oil but it seems like those will be fine for your dog especially considering it is a smaller amount spread through all the treats. I tend to look for labels that say “natural peanut butter”. Usually the only ingredient in those will be the peanuts and you usually have to stir them when you open them because the natural oils rise to the top of the jar. I buy the Kirkland brand natural pb from Costco but I’ve also used the Kraft natural pb.
You can do the same 1/4 cup measurement of applesauce or mashed banana. If your dough is too sticky to roll out you might need a touch more flour but you should be ok to substitute the pb 1 for 1. Let me know how they turn out for you! I’m glad you’re trying them!
You could substitute the peanut butter with apple purée (I would just make sure that it is unsweetened and the only ingredient is apples). Using apple purée just decreases the healthy fats the peanut butter gives these treats but they will still work and be a good treat for your pup 😊! I personally would not substitute with coconut oil. It is quite high in saturated fat. It is generally safe for dogs but I would only use 1-2 teaspoons in a treat I think (not the 1/4 cup of the peanut butter measurement). And yes they should bake just fine in an air fryer! I don’t have one unfortunately so I can’t recommend the settings that are best but it should definitely work. Keep me posted and let me know what temp and cooking time worked for you!
Blended oats made the flour? Or did you mix the oats with flour before you blended? If so what kind of flour did you use? Just regular white baking flour? We have a lot of dogs in the family and my daughter is wanting to make treats for them. Thank you for sharing!
Yes I just blended oats to make the flour! You can use quick oats or rolled oats and blend them in a spice grinder or food processor. If the dogs are not sensitive to wheat you could also use whole wheat (or wholemeal) flour. White baking flour just doesn’t have much nutritional value so whole wheat or the ground oats will offer more nutrition for the dogs. I hope your daughter has fun making the treats!
I made a batch yesterday with rolled oats and spooned a nice portion and pressed a fork to flatten, my dogs loved them and my Birds and man what a time saver, LoL. Felt weird giving a dog bone to my birds!!
@@donnacasey9641 oh cool I’m glad it worked for you even with the whole oats! Thanks for letting me know. I’m glad everyone liked them 😍 felt weird for me to eat a cookie shaped like a dog bone too 😂 at least I knew exactly what was in it 😜
@@drnimmyprabha yes you can use mashed pumpkin, carrots, or even squash. You could also add in some mashed banana or applesauce. Just make sure that whatever you use is not sweetened and doesn’t have any additives. I hope that helps to give you some ideas of how to adjust these to work for you!
Hello! And certainly. Others have used unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana in place of the peanut butter. You could also use another nut or seed butter (like almond or tahini) but stay away from macadamia nuts, pistachios, and walnuts as those can be harmful to dogs. Any ingredient you use as a substitute should be free of any sweeteners or additives as well. I hope this helps and let me know what you try!
I’m glad they like them! Thank you for trying the recipe 😊 they last well in the fridge for 1 week (only a couple of days on the counter because there are no preservatives). I like to freeze them and then take out what I need for a week and keep those in the fridge. Harder biscuits that have less moisture in them might keep a little longer on the counter than softer biscuits.
I’m glad you like them! I haven’t ever tried adding a natural preservative to them. On a quick google search it seems some natural substances like rosemary oil, vitamin E and vitamin C are sometimes added to dog food to extend shelf life but I haven’t tried it and wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending something since I’m not 100% sure it’s safe. Have you added any of these substances before? I usually just freeze most of them and take out a few at a time to store in the fridge.
The recipe is linked in the description box below the video but I will link it here for you as well (tastythriftytimely.com/3-ingredient-dog-treats-home-made-with-love/) Enjoy!
They will only last on the counter for about 3 days since there are no preservatives in them. It is safer to keep them in the fridge or freeze them and take out what you need a little at a time. The crispier they are the longer they seem to last on the counter because there will be less moisture in them.
I get mine from Costco usually it’s the Kirkland brand all natural peanut butter. I tend to notice quite a few “all natural” options at my local grocery stores as well so you can look for the “all natural” label and then just double check the ingredients to make sure only peanuts are listed.
Oh ya I’ve heard of people using vitamin E but no, unfortunately I’ve never tried adding any preservatives. If your dog likes really crunchy treats you can turn the oven off after the baking time and leave the treats in the oven while it cools down. That will draw out more moisture and I find it helps the treats last longer. I tend to just freeze the treats though and take a few out at a time. I’m sorry I can’t be more help! I have a seed cracker recipe that many people have suggested dehydrating in an air fryer to not expose the seeds to heat… I’m not sure if dehydrating these treats might be an option for you and perhaps a way to avoid high heat?
You could use another dog safe nut butter if your dog can tolerate them (almond is a great choice). Or you can use a seed butter like tahini or sunflower seed butter. Just make sure they don’t have any additives. Alternatively, you can use applesauce or mashed banana. Those options won’t provide the healthy fats that the nut or seed butters would but they will work in this recipe and I’ve heard from others that they have made them with those fruit purées. If your dough is a little too wet with those options you might need to add just a bit more oat flour. Let me know what you try!
Ah yes I can imagine that’s the case because without a nut or seed butter there are no healthy fats in this recipe. I know that others have used a fruit puree but perhaps their dogs haven’t minded the extra crunchy and dry texture. I hope your dog might be able to still eat them (or you can repurpose them somehow by grinding them up and adding the crumbs here and there into other dishes).
Yes they will keep well like that in the fridge for about a week. I like to freeze some just to make sure they stay as fresh as possible and then I take out enough for a week at a time and leave them in the fridge 👍🏼
Oui! C’est possible! I would let them cool in the molds for 10-15 minutes to firm up a little bit. Then just be gentle removing them but you shouldn’t have any trouble. Let me know how it goes!
Great recipe, but not sure where you got the prices? Organic Yams are over 3.00 a pound, natural peanut butter with no additives is over $7.99 for a generic version and rolled oats is $3.99 for 16oz. I made close to 35 big treats and about 40 small ones reward size. Cost me close to $20, not counting time and electric costs. I do have half container of peanut butter left and half of the Oats container. In recap great recipe, but much more expensive than the video suggested
I’m glad you liked the recipe! The cost of my recipes will certainly vary depending on where you live and what ingredients are in season. I use a free online tool called “cookkeepbook” to calculate the cost of my recipes based on the amount of ingredients I use in them. I try to create recipes with limited pantry items so that I’m utilizing the same ingredients in multiple dishes. If you do not have any of these items in your pantry then of course the cost will be more than $1 but I’m glad that you have leftover of the peanut butter and oats to use for other dishes!
I’m glad you like them! I like to say that they last for a week in an airtight container in the fridge and up to 2 months in the freezer. Because there’s no preservatives in them I like to suggest freezing them and taking out what you need for a few days at a time.
Human grade dog food!!! Reminds me of when I made chicken and cheese dog biscuits that were a bit bland (hard to believe now as a vegan) and my son and I ate more than the dog. The dog wasn’t impressed.
@@richardwood6017 yes to buy everything just for this recipe does cost more but the ingredients in the amounts they are used for this recipe cost much less. If peanut butter and oats are typically part of your pantry then you’re only using a portion of that overall cost and that ingredient will have many more uses for you. I use a free online tool called “cookkeepbook” to determine how much individual recipes cost me and I can plan out which ingredients are most cost effective (it’s a handy tool if you’re interested in budgeting per recipe).
Oh no we don’t want that. If they are fine with any other nut or seed butter like tahini then any of those will work (just avoid macadamia and maybe even cashew). You could stay clear of nuts or seeds by using unsweetened apple sauce or mashed banana instead! Those won’t add many healthy fats that come with the nuts but the treats will still be tasty, full of good stuff, and bake well. (You may need a touch more flour if you find the dough to be a little too wet if using apple sauce for instance). Let me know if you give that a try!!
I state the ratios in the video and I have linked to the full recipe in the description. I will copy them here for you as well: -1 cup (104 g )oat flour (or whole wheat flour if your dog is not sensitive to wheat) -1/4 cup (65 g) peanut butter (all natural, ensure the only ingredient is peanuts) -1/2 cup (67 g) cooked sweet potato, mashed* (or unsweetened pumpkin puree)
Yes you should be able to 👍🏼 I know some people have used applesauce so I’m sure banana would work just as well. You may need a touch more oat flour if the dough is too sticky to work with but it should work well. Let me know if you try it!
I know others have used applesauce. You won’t be adding the healthy fats that are found in peanut butter but that could work (you may need a touch more oat flour because the applesauce might add more moisture than peanut butter). If your dog eats plain yogurt that could be an option as well. Sunflower seed butter (as long as there are no additives) is dog safe as well if you think you might be able to get away with that one! I hope one of those might work for you!
I would think so. I’ve never made any treats with meat but I would think if you fully cook the meat before and then stir it into this mixture it will be fine to keep the baking time the same. If you find the dough is too dry after stirring in the meat just add more peanut butter or even a bit of water or applesauce. Alternatively, if the dough is too wet to roll out just add a bit more oat flour. If you try it you can let me know how it works out for you 🙂
Could these be dehydrated to extend their shelf life? There is a guy that sells these in our town and his package says that his are dehydrated so that they are good for up to a year.
Ooo that’s a great idea! I don’t have a dehydrator but that sounds like it would work. I would think you could even skip the baking and dehydrate them straight away but I’m not sure. It would probably also work to bake them and then pop them in the dehydrator to really crisp them up and remove moisture. Let me know if you end up trying it and how that works out. I’m curious if storing them out of the fridge in this case would be best.
Yes! They can be made soft or hard so for softer treats take them out of the oven after 10-12 minutes 👍🏼 they will stay soft when you store them too. I recommend keeping these in the fridge or freezing them as they don’t have any preservatives and won’t last very long on the counter.
If you follow the recipe link in the description it will take you to my blog. There is a “print recipe” button in the top of the recipe card on the blog 👍🏼
@@GeorgiaShepard-x9g they will only last for a couple days out of the fridge because they don’t have any stabilizers in them. The crunchier and drier you make them the better they will last on the counter because there will be less moisture in them but I just store enough for one week in the fridge and then freeze the rest.
@@MikaCiupak-el3iu they can be made soft or crunchy depending on how long you bake them for. For crunchy treats I suggest baking them for 15 minutes. If you want them to be really dry and crunchy you can turn off the oven after 15 minutes and leave the treats inside the hot oven as it cools down. That will draw out more moisture and leave the treats really dry. I hope that helps!
Yes you can replace the peanut butter with applesauce or mashed banana if you would like. You could of course use another nut butter like almond butter or a seed butter like tahini (just avoid macadamia nuts, cashews, and pistachios). The peanut butter (or some kind of safe nut or seed butter) is included to give the treats a healthy fats source but you could just replace the amount of peanut butter with more sweet potato if that’s what you were hoping. The treats will be a little more bland but they will still have plenty of fibre and other helpful nutrients. A sprinkle of cinnamon if your dog is not sensitive to it is also a nice addition.
Some other nut and seed butters can be safe for dogs. Almond butter or sunflower butter would probably be the two I would suggest. Make sure they are unsweetened and don’t have any additives. Tahini (sesame butter) also seems to be safe. You may be able to use some carrot, apple, or banana purée if you want to avoid a nut or seed butter. Those purées are just missing the fat component of the butters so the treats may need more oat flour to hold together. I hope this helps a bit and let me know what you end up using.
I’ve never tried it but I would think you can roll the dough out into an even sheet and press it into a mold. Any excess could be scraped off the top and reformed. Let me know if you try it and how the dough cooperates!
I’ve never tried using the microwave or a skillet myself but I know there are other dog treat recipes out there that give microwave instructions. It seems like if you microwave a few at a time, in a single layer, and on high for around 10 minutes they should get crispy. You could potentially cook them for something like 3 minutes at a time and keep checking them until they feel dry or cook for 5 minutes, flip them if they’re not too hot and cook for another 5? I assume a non-stick skillet would work similarly over a low (or medium low) heat so that the bottoms don’t get too browned before the centre has time to cook. Let me know if you try it and how it works out for you! (Some microwaved dog treat recipes I’ve come across use eggs so these are even safer I would think because the sweet potato is already cooked. You’re really just wanting to cook the oat flour a bit and crisp up the biscuit).
They will last well in the fridge for at least a week but I suggest keeping some in the freezer and taking out what you need for a few days at a time to keep them as fresh as possible 👍🏼
Definitely. If your dog can handle other nut butters that are dog friendly (almond or cashew) then you could use those. Seed butters will work too (sunflower or tahini). You could also use a fruit purée like mashed banana or unsweetened apple sauce. Those won’t offer the healthy fats that a nut or seed butter do but the recipe will still work (you might just need a touch more oat flour if the dough is too wet to roll out). I hope that helps!
I don’t unfortunately! I just have a couple of dog treat recipes. What kinds of treats or food would you be looking for? I’ll think about recipe possibilities
Love how natural this is, but he careful about giving your dog or anyone much peanut butter. It's high in oxalates and lectins and can contribute to heart issues and kidney stones. Guessing a bit is fine though! Not everyone is as sensitive as I am 🙏
Yes these are definitely meant to be a treat given in moderation. Especially if these foods are new to anyone’s dog and you’re not sure how they will handle them. Thank you for watching and commenting! 😊
They don’t last well for much more than a week out of the fridge or freezer which is why I haven’t tried selling them myself. They don’t have any preservatives in them so it is most safe to keep them cold.
🥰Please gush about how cute your dogs are here! What are their favourite treats??
I will try this and see.
@@winendine_with_clemo Awesome! You'll have to let me know how they go over!!

Before you even said it, after listing the ingredients I was thinking, 'You could sub out the sweet potato for pumpkin!' So cool!
I've been wondering if canned salmon or salmon that comes in a packet could be used in a treat recipe. According to the label it looks like there aren't any potentially harmful ingredients, at least in the brand I buy. But with processed foods (intended and regulated for human consumption) you just never know. Not sure if it's worth the risk.

Awesome 👏 I’m so glad Bailey loves them! Thank you for giving them a try and letting me know they were a hit!
The first batch I made I put in for 15 minutes and they were not as hard and crunchy as I wanted them. My second batch I decided to put them in the food dehydrator and they came out hard and crunchy. Thanks for the recipe.
@@frencheeey oh good a dehydrator is a great way to make these. I find that they do harden a bit after they cool but to get them really crunchy your dehydrator is great. Another trick is to leave them in the oven while the oven cools down. That will really dry them out too. Thank you for trying them and letting me know!
How much temp in the dehydrator? And for how long?
The dehydrate setting on my air fryer convection oven is set at 140 F. I’ve never tried these in there but I could see them being done after about an hour (my seed crackers take 3 hours on dehydrate but there is a much higher water content in those). The first time you make them if you can check them at every half hour then hopefully you can pin the time down for your particular machine. I hope this helps a little!
@@joysevlau I'm not sure. My dehydrator is at least 30 years old. It turns on and off. Lol
Haha sometimes that’s all you need an appliance to do 😂
Thanks! Just made these for my dog and he loves them! I did have to use a little more oat flour cause the dough was too sticky to roll out
I’m so glad he loves them! Thank you so much for letting me know you made them and I’m glad you were able to work with the dough better after adding a bit more flour. It is tricky depending on how runny the peanut butter is and how much moisture is in the sweet potato (or pumpkin purée).
Awesome! I have a 4 month old goldendoodle and he got sick when he ate a bone stick. I feel that sometimes those store buys are not usually 100% for your puppies. I am so glad I found you. I'm ready to start making some homemade treats for my boy Knox. Thank you 😊
Awesome! You’ll have to let me know how your little goldendoodle likes these! Thanks for the comment 🥰
I made these - added some molasses, pinch of cinnamon, and an egg....my dogs LOVE these treats
I’m so glad they like them and you were able to easily customize them for your dogs! Thank you for letting me know 😊
Why not honey as opposed to molasses since honey kills bacteria and prevents infections inside your dog.
I think cinnamon is bad for dogs?
I believe it can be toxic if over consumed but a pinch spread through all these treats should be fine for most dogs.
Oh boy, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea and I will be making it very soon. I hope they like them. If not right off, they'll figure it out and learn to love them. 🙂 Thank you so much.
So glad you love them!! 🥰 I hope they do too! Keep me posted when they try them!
@@TastyThriftyTimely OMG, Kathryn, these came out SO good, heck I even tried a piece of one, not bad, and my pups loved and lapped them up right from the start. Now I give them an afternoon treat of one each day. The money it's saving me from buying doggie cookie treats in the store is wonderful, and the best part is, I know what's going in them, so that's a big bonus! Thanks again for this recipe. It's definitely a keeper in our villa...YEA! 🤗
@@conishkee this is the best! Thank you so much for letting me know they loved them and you’re loving the savings 🎉 I’m glad they are simple enough that you’ll keep making them (especially if you end up snacking on a few too 😜)!!
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you create these delicious dog treats. I’m so impressed with your video, I’ve and given you a thumbs up too
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you loved the video and I hope you love the treats if you give them a try!
My puppies loved this recipe so much they yelled at me the whole time I was making them, and didn't shut up until they got to taste test the dough, eat the scraps, lick the bowl and the baker's hands
10/10 would get yelled at by husky mixes again😊
Hahaha this is adorable! Thank you for making my day! I’m so glad they loved it. Thank you for giving it a try and for giving me the cutest visual of your puppies!
We have a dog who can’t have peanut butter, can you recommend an alternative? Or would they bake up okay if we skipped the PB altogether?
They might bake up alright without the pb actually. I haven’t given that a try but typically I suggest another nut or seed butter if possible. Almond butter, sunflower seed butter or tahini which is made from sesame seeds will all work. You could also replace the pb with mashed banana or unsweetened applesauce. You won’t be getting the healthy fats that come from the nut butter and you might just have to add a bit more oat flour in case the batter is too wet but I have heard from a lot of people that they have used applesauce or bananas. I hope one of these suggestions will work for you!
Wow, thanks so much. I will make this for my Lucy!
Great! Keep me posted with how Lucy likes them!
@@TastyThriftyTimely Lucy loves her homemade cookies. She knows it too, I'm baking it for her 😅 Thanks for sharing your simple recipe.
Awesome!! I’m so glad Lucy loves them! Thank you for letting me know!
You should've seen our dogs face looking up at us eating up her dog treats as they got done! 😂 These are great, and I added coconut sugar, and cinnamon, and did the easy canned pumpkin version. Sweet potato is next! My dog definitely knew they were hers, and she enjoyed them. Thanks!!
Hahaha that’s too funny 😂 I’m so glad you ALL liked them 🤣! Thank you so much for trying them and letting me know they were a hit all around!
Our Furry Señior shih Tzu "Leonidas" is turning 15 at the end of the month 3/30/24 we're having a little gathering to celebrate so were
Having Bison meatballs, these awesome sweet potato treats and homemade 🍓🍌 Yogurt ice cream, for him and his 7 guests, LOL😂😂😂🎉🎈🎊
Thank you for sharing. Be blessed 👍 😉
Aw too cute! I love the yogurt ice cream idea. I’m glad these treats will make it into his party menu 🥰 have such a fun time celebrating him!
Oh geez that’s ADORABLE!! Hope they wore party hats!🎉😂❤
Thanks! I make these all the time now! Can you leave them in a mason jar at room temperature? How long would they be good for if not refrigerated?
You’re welcome! I’m so glad they’ve been working well for you! I think I would only leave them out for a couple days just to be sure they don’t turn bad. If you make them really crunchy and dehydrate them quite a bit then they may last a little longer (I still don’t know if I would go past 4 days though). I wouldn’t want a batch to go bad on you but let me know if you push it a bit and what you find.
I have a 13 year old Puggle that I dehydrate duck and chicken feet. We got her as a rescue 7years ago, the vet said she would probably need knee surgery and while waiting for surgery to give her glucosamine capsules. I tried everything to get the capsules in and there was no way. Spit out everyone. I dehydrate tons of stuff so I started with chicken feet then when I can get them duck feet. I also dehydrate chicken liver and chicken hearts for the dog and 2 cats. I would feed them all raw but dehydrated just preserves them. I have to cut the fat off the hearts as they won’t dehydrate as well. I make dog biscuits like these starting with like all cookies bacon fat, mashed yam, shredded cheese and oat flour. I make probably a few hundred at a time, I cook them as hard biscuits, they last longer. I give them out to dogs everywhere. I live in a big city and see a lot of homeless people with dogs and I think they deserve the best treats. My friends at work get bags of treats after every batch.
I’m glad to hear you find the dehydrator helpful for treats. If I end up with an air fryer soon I’ll definitely see how these turn out in there. In the meantime maybe I’ll try the longer oven dehydrating method. Very kind of you to take the time to make treats and gift them (I’m sure all the dogs and humans appreciate it!) 🙂
She went to the vet last Friday, very healthy, no need for knee surgery. Glucosamine in the chicken and duck feet have fixed that.
@@ginnyscott7255 that’s great to hear! 👏
Regarding the Peanut Butter, the only one that I found Creamy PB is " NO Added Sugar ". Is this the one I should be using?
The only ingredient listed should be peanut butter so hopefully that’s the case with that one! Xylitol is an artificial sweetener that is toxic to dogs so you want to stay away from that for sure!
@@TastyThriftyTimely 👍 I will read the ingredients. I went through all the brands, they all have carbohydrate plus added sugar except only one brand "Skippy " which doesn't contain Added Sugar.
What brand do you use?
@@Petlover10000 your skippy might have salt and added oil but it seems like those will be fine for your dog especially considering it is a smaller amount spread through all the treats. I tend to look for labels that say “natural peanut butter”. Usually the only ingredient in those will be the peanuts and you usually have to stir them when you open them because the natural oils rise to the top of the jar. I buy the Kirkland brand natural pb from Costco but I’ve also used the Kraft natural pb.
@@TastyThriftyTimely Great. Thank you for your prompt reply.
Hello, thank you for your videos! if I am substituting the peanut butter for apple sauce or bananas what is the measurement?
You can do the same 1/4 cup measurement of applesauce or mashed banana. If your dough is too sticky to roll out you might need a touch more flour but you should be ok to substitute the pb 1 for 1. Let me know how they turn out for you! I’m glad you’re trying them!
Thank you!!@@TastyThriftyTimely
You’re welcome! I hope your pups enjoy them 🥰
I would not use canned anything because the amount of preservatives that are in them. but i am trying this with fresh ingredients
Perfect. The sweet potato version is definitely the tastiest (if I do say so myself 😜). I’m sure fresh pumpkin would be great too 👍🏼
Would it be ok to substitute sweet potato puree for carrot puree?
@@RahFurbys absolutely! I’ve heard from others that they have done that and it’s worked well 👍🏼
Can we substitute peanut butter with apple puree or coconut oil? Also will this bake in air fryer? Thanks
You could substitute the peanut butter with apple purée (I would just make sure that it is unsweetened and the only ingredient is apples). Using apple purée just decreases the healthy fats the peanut butter gives these treats but they will still work and be a good treat for your pup 😊! I personally would not substitute with coconut oil. It is quite high in saturated fat. It is generally safe for dogs but I would only use 1-2 teaspoons in a treat I think (not the 1/4 cup of the peanut butter measurement). And yes they should bake just fine in an air fryer! I don’t have one unfortunately so I can’t recommend the settings that are best but it should definitely work. Keep me posted and let me know what temp and cooking time worked for you!
Adopted dogs are THE MOST eco-friendly ''kids'' of all👍🌎
Too true 🐾💕
I make these with bananas instead of sweet potatoes. But my dog loves sweet potato, so I'm trying them this way tomorrow.
Oh great! I’m glad to know you make them with bananas and I hope your dog loves the sweet potato version too!
Looks so easy and healthy!
I will definitely try to bake for my dog!❤
Oh great! Let me know how they like it when you give it a try! 👍🏼
Blended oats made the flour? Or did you mix the oats with flour before you blended?
If so what kind of flour did you use? Just regular white baking flour?
We have a lot of dogs in the family and my daughter is wanting to make treats for them. Thank you for sharing!
Yes I just blended oats to make the flour! You can use quick oats or rolled oats and blend them in a spice grinder or food processor. If the dogs are not sensitive to wheat you could also use whole wheat (or wholemeal) flour. White baking flour just doesn’t have much nutritional value so whole wheat or the ground oats will offer more nutrition for the dogs. I hope your daughter has fun making the treats!
I made a batch yesterday with rolled oats and spooned a nice portion and pressed a fork to flatten, my dogs loved them and my Birds and man what a time saver, LoL. Felt weird giving a dog bone to my birds!!
I did not flour the oats by the way!
@@donnacasey9641 oh cool I’m glad it worked for you even with the whole oats! Thanks for letting me know. I’m glad everyone liked them 😍 felt weird for me to eat a cookie shaped like a dog bone too 😂 at least I knew exactly what was in it 😜
Hi can you please tell me what can I use Instead of sweet potato...
@@drnimmyprabha yes you can use mashed pumpkin, carrots, or even squash. You could also add in some mashed banana or applesauce. Just make sure that whatever you use is not sweetened and doesn’t have any additives. I hope that helps to give you some ideas of how to adjust these to work for you!
Hello, can you suggest me other ingredient to switch with peanut butter?
Hello! And certainly. Others have used unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana in place of the peanut butter. You could also use another nut or seed butter (like almond or tahini) but stay away from macadamia nuts, pistachios, and walnuts as those can be harmful to dogs. Any ingredient you use as a substitute should be free of any sweeteners or additives as well. I hope this helps and let me know what you try!
AWESOME ❤

You’re welcome!! ☺️
Just made some dogs love it how long do they last for?
I’m glad they like them! Thank you for trying the recipe 😊 they last well in the fridge for 1 week (only a couple of days on the counter because there are no preservatives). I like to freeze them and then take out what I need for a week and keep those in the fridge. Harder biscuits that have less moisture in them might keep a little longer on the counter than softer biscuits.
thank you for this. i am going to make this
Great! You’re welcome. Let me know how you like it when you give it a try!
I love this!! What is a natural preservative I can add to extend the shelf life?
I’m glad you like them! I haven’t ever tried adding a natural preservative to them. On a quick google search it seems some natural substances like rosemary oil, vitamin E and vitamin C are sometimes added to dog food to extend shelf life but I haven’t tried it and wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending something since I’m not 100% sure it’s safe. Have you added any of these substances before? I usually just freeze most of them and take out a few at a time to store in the fridge.
Thanks for 3 ingtediant dog tr3at.😊😊❤
You’re very welcome! Thank you for watching!
@@TastyThriftyTimelyrecipe please
The recipe is linked in the description box below the video but I will link it here for you as well (tastythriftytimely.com/3-ingredient-dog-treats-home-made-with-love/) Enjoy!
I'm doing this today for my dog Max.
Awesome!! I hope Max likes them and you enjoy making them!
do they have to be in the fridge?
They will only last on the counter for about 3 days since there are no preservatives in them. It is safer to keep them in the fridge or freeze them and take out what you need a little at a time. The crispier they are the longer they seem to last on the counter because there will be less moisture in them.
Thank you.
You’re very welcome! Thank you for watching 😊
Hi, where did u buy the 100% peanut?
I get mine from Costco usually it’s the Kirkland brand all natural peanut butter. I tend to notice quite a few “all natural” options at my local grocery stores as well so you can look for the “all natural” label and then just double check the ingredients to make sure only peanuts are listed.
Thanks for this recipe 😊 Do you have any advice concerning food preservative ? I found E-vitamine but it doesn't resist heat so it's useless...
Oh ya I’ve heard of people using vitamin E but no, unfortunately I’ve never tried adding any preservatives. If your dog likes really crunchy treats you can turn the oven off after the baking time and leave the treats in the oven while it cools down. That will draw out more moisture and I find it helps the treats last longer. I tend to just freeze the treats though and take a few out at a time. I’m sorry I can’t be more help! I have a seed cracker recipe that many people have suggested dehydrating in an air fryer to not expose the seeds to heat… I’m not sure if dehydrating these treats might be an option for you and perhaps a way to avoid high heat?
Can you dehydrate these?
I would think you can. I’ve never tried it myself but I don’t see why that wouldn’t work 👍🏼 let me know if you try it!
Can I use butternut squash instead of sweet potato?
Yes absolutely! Even puréed carrot will work too 👍🏼
thank you 😮
You’re welcome!!!
What can i use instead of oats as i dint want tearring of the gut?
You can use whole wheat flour if your dog is not sensitive to wheat!
What can I replace peanut butter with
You could use another dog safe nut butter if your dog can tolerate them (almond is a great choice). Or you can use a seed butter like tahini or sunflower seed butter. Just make sure they don’t have any additives. Alternatively, you can use applesauce or mashed banana. Those options won’t provide the healthy fats that the nut or seed butters would but they will work in this recipe and I’ve heard from others that they have made them with those fruit purées. If your dough is a little too wet with those options you might need to add just a bit more oat flour. Let me know what you try!
@TastyThriftyTimely thank you I tried using banana but the treats turned out to be little bit dry and hard like that oil component was missing
Ah yes I can imagine that’s the case because without a nut or seed butter there are no healthy fats in this recipe. I know that others have used a fruit puree but perhaps their dogs haven’t minded the extra crunchy and dry texture. I hope your dog might be able to still eat them (or you can repurpose them somehow by grinding them up and adding the crumbs here and there into other dishes).
Do you think its okay if i put them in a sandwich bag and put in the fridge
Yes they will keep well like that in the fridge for about a week. I like to freeze some just to make sure they stay as fresh as possible and then I take out enough for a week at a time and leave them in the fridge 👍🏼
👍
C'est possible d'utiliser des moule en silicone?
Oui! C’est possible! I would let them cool in the molds for 10-15 minutes to firm up a little bit. Then just be gentle removing them but you shouldn’t have any trouble. Let me know how it goes!
Great recipe, but not sure where you got the prices? Organic Yams are over 3.00 a pound, natural peanut butter with no additives is over $7.99 for a generic version and rolled oats is $3.99 for 16oz. I made close to 35 big treats and about 40 small ones reward size. Cost me close to $20, not counting time and electric costs. I do have half container of peanut butter left and half of the Oats container. In recap great recipe, but much more expensive than the video suggested
I’m glad you liked the recipe! The cost of my recipes will certainly vary depending on where you live and what ingredients are in season. I use a free online tool called “cookkeepbook” to calculate the cost of my recipes based on the amount of ingredients I use in them. I try to create recipes with limited pantry items so that I’m utilizing the same ingredients in multiple dishes. If you do not have any of these items in your pantry then of course the cost will be more than $1 but I’m glad that you have leftover of the peanut butter and oats to use for other dishes!
What can I use instead of pumpkin?
Mashed sweet potato is a great substitute! Others have told me they have used apple sauce or mashed banana as well. Let me know what you try!
These look great! How long do they last?
I’m glad you like them! I like to say that they last for a week in an airtight container in the fridge and up to 2 months in the freezer. Because there’s no preservatives in them I like to suggest freezing them and taking out what you need for a few days at a time.
@@TastyThriftyTimely thank you!
@@Auberryyy you’re welcome!!
Human grade dog food!!! Reminds me of when I made chicken and cheese dog biscuits that were a bit bland (hard to believe now as a vegan) and my son and I ate more than the dog. The dog wasn’t impressed.
Hahah! I love this story 😂 Well I’m glad you and your son enjoyed them at least! Lol hopefully these would go over better 😉
Made these today and they were so easy and tasted 😊good for dog and human 👍🏽
Haha perfect! I’m so glad they were easy and passed your taste test too! Thank you for letting me know 😊
Looks good! Today the ingredients are over 10.00.
@@richardwood6017 yes to buy everything just for this recipe does cost more but the ingredients in the amounts they are used for this recipe cost much less. If peanut butter and oats are typically part of your pantry then you’re only using a portion of that overall cost and that ingredient will have many more uses for you. I use a free online tool called “cookkeepbook” to determine how much individual recipes cost me and I can plan out which ingredients are most cost effective (it’s a handy tool if you’re interested in budgeting per recipe).
Do you have a recommendation to replace the Peanut Butter, I find that my dogs arthritis flares up every time I give him something with Peanut Butter.
Oh no we don’t want that. If they are fine with any other nut or seed butter like tahini then any of those will work (just avoid macadamia and maybe even cashew). You could stay clear of nuts or seeds by using unsweetened apple sauce or mashed banana instead! Those won’t add many healthy fats that come with the nuts but the treats will still be tasty, full of good stuff, and bake well. (You may need a touch more flour if you find the dough to be a little too wet if using apple sauce for instance). Let me know if you give that a try!!
Peanut butter is not good for humans too. Today it contains a lot of afloxins.
What are the ratio s ??
I state the ratios in the video and I have linked to the full recipe in the description. I will copy them here for you as well:
-1 cup (104 g )oat flour (or whole wheat flour if your dog is not sensitive to wheat)
-1/4 cup (65 g) peanut butter (all natural, ensure the only ingredient is peanuts)
-1/2 cup (67 g) cooked sweet potato, mashed* (or unsweetened pumpkin puree)
can i substitute the peanut butter for banana or something else ?
Yes you should be able to 👍🏼 I know some people have used applesauce so I’m sure banana would work just as well. You may need a touch more oat flour if the dough is too sticky to work with but it should work well. Let me know if you try it!
My dog doesn't like peanut butter any suggestions for an alternative ingredient?
I know others have used applesauce. You won’t be adding the healthy fats that are found in peanut butter but that could work (you may need a touch more oat flour because the applesauce might add more moisture than peanut butter). If your dog eats plain yogurt that could be an option as well. Sunflower seed butter (as long as there are no additives) is dog safe as well if you think you might be able to get away with that one! I hope one of those might work for you!
Can you add ground meat or chicken?
I would think so. I’ve never made any treats with meat but I would think if you fully cook the meat before and then stir it into this mixture it will be fine to keep the baking time the same. If you find the dough is too dry after stirring in the meat just add more peanut butter or even a bit of water or applesauce. Alternatively, if the dough is too wet to roll out just add a bit more oat flour. If you try it you can let me know how it works out for you 🙂
I'd add bacon.
Could these be dehydrated to extend their shelf life? There is a guy that sells these in our town and his package says that his are dehydrated so that they are good for up to a year.
Ooo that’s a great idea! I don’t have a dehydrator but that sounds like it would work. I would think you could even skip the baking and dehydrate them straight away but I’m not sure. It would probably also work to bake them and then pop them in the dehydrator to really crisp them up and remove moisture. Let me know if you end up trying it and how that works out. I’m curious if storing them out of the fridge in this case would be best.
Even I (Mike the loyal follower ''doggie'') would devour those! HOW-HOW🐶
Hahaha you’ll have to let us know if yo make them!! 🤣🐾
@@TastyThriftyTimelyI never make stuff. Just watch while eating my every-day-the-same-fitness-meal-prepped-foods😇
Haha well that works too 😜
Easy and tasty recipe 😋 absolutely perfect and delicious
Thank you so much 🥰 fun for humans too!!
My old little dog cannot eat anything too hard or crunchy. Are these soft?
Yes! They can be made soft or hard so for softer treats take them out of the oven after 10-12 minutes 👍🏼 they will stay soft when you store them too. I recommend keeping these in the fridge or freezing them as they don’t have any preservatives and won’t last very long on the counter.
My Louie (Labradorable) loves these!! Cost approximately $2 made 100 treats 😊 🇦🇺
This is great to know! Thank you so much for trying them. I’m glad Louie loves them ☺️❤️
Where can I print this recipe?
If you follow the recipe link in the description it will take you to my blog. There is a “print recipe” button in the top of the recipe card on the blog 👍🏼
Do the treats need to be refrigerated?
@@GeorgiaShepard-x9g they will only last for a couple days out of the fridge because they don’t have any stabilizers in them. The crunchier and drier you make them the better they will last on the counter because there will be less moisture in them but I just store enough for one week in the fridge and then freeze the rest.
Just made them!!! My furbabies love them 🎉🎉 Thank you ❤
Woo! Awesome! I’m so glad they love them. Thank you for letting me know 😍
very good. thanks🤠
So glad you like them! Thank you for watching!
Thanks 👍👁️🙏👁️. Scotland UK 👁️
You’re welcome! And thank you for watching!!!
My dog is allergic to Oats 😢 what can I substitute it with?
If your dog isn’t sensitive to wheat you can use whole wheat flour!
Is it crunchy?
@@MikaCiupak-el3iu they can be made soft or crunchy depending on how long you bake them for. For crunchy treats I suggest baking them for 15 minutes. If you want them to be really dry and crunchy you can turn off the oven after 15 minutes and leave the treats inside the hot oven as it cools down. That will draw out more moisture and leave the treats really dry. I hope that helps!
Can i make without peanut butter？
Yes you can replace the peanut butter with applesauce or mashed banana if you would like. You could of course use another nut butter like almond butter or a seed butter like tahini (just avoid macadamia nuts, cashews, and pistachios). The peanut butter (or some kind of safe nut or seed butter) is included to give the treats a healthy fats source but you could just replace the amount of peanut butter with more sweet potato if that’s what you were hoping. The treats will be a little more bland but they will still have plenty of fibre and other helpful nutrients. A sprinkle of cinnamon if your dog is not sensitive to it is also a nice addition.
Any substitute for peanut butter?
Some other nut and seed butters can be safe for dogs. Almond butter or sunflower butter would probably be the two I would suggest. Make sure they are unsweetened and don’t have any additives. Tahini (sesame butter) also seems to be safe. You may be able to use some carrot, apple, or banana purée if you want to avoid a nut or seed butter. Those purées are just missing the fat component of the butters so the treats may need more oat flour to hold together. I hope this helps a bit and let me know what you end up using.
@@TastyThriftyTimely THANKS
You’re welcome 👍🏻
Could you use the silicone mold to do these
I’ve never tried it but I would think you can roll the dough out into an even sheet and press it into a mold. Any excess could be scraped off the top and reformed. Let me know if you try it and how the dough cooperates!
Can I use a microwave or a skillet instead of the oven?
I’ve never tried using the microwave or a skillet myself but I know there are other dog treat recipes out there that give microwave instructions. It seems like if you microwave a few at a time, in a single layer, and on high for around 10 minutes they should get crispy. You could potentially cook them for something like 3 minutes at a time and keep checking them until they feel dry or cook for 5 minutes, flip them if they’re not too hot and cook for another 5? I assume a non-stick skillet would work similarly over a low (or medium low) heat so that the bottoms don’t get too browned before the centre has time to cook. Let me know if you try it and how it works out for you! (Some microwaved dog treat recipes I’ve come across use eggs so these are even safer I would think because the sweet potato is already cooked. You’re really just wanting to cook the oat flour a bit and crisp up the biscuit).
DO YOU HAVE A CAT BISCUIT RECIPE.... THANKS.
I don’t unfortunately! I’ve had some other requests for it though so it is on my mind!
Awesome ❤
Thank you! So glad you love them!
HI how long will these treats last
They will last well in the fridge for at least a week but I suggest keeping some in the freezer and taking out what you need for a few days at a time to keep them as fresh as possible 👍🏼
What a great Treat!!
Thank you SO much 🥰 all the doggies in my life gobble them up!! 🐶
my dogs allergic to Peanuts, anything else I could use besides peanut butter?
Definitely. If your dog can handle other nut butters that are dog friendly (almond or cashew) then you could use those. Seed butters will work too (sunflower or tahini). You could also use a fruit purée like mashed banana or unsweetened apple sauce. Those won’t offer the healthy fats that a nut or seed butter do but the recipe will still work (you might just need a touch more oat flour if the dough is too wet to roll out). I hope that helps!
@@TastyThriftyTimely ah true.. thanks!😀
You’re welcome!
Do you have cat food or treat recipes
I don’t unfortunately! I just have a couple of dog treat recipes. What kinds of treats or food would you be looking for? I’ll think about recipe possibilities
@@TastyThriftyTimelycat food recipes instead of canned food. Treats that are not hard. Thanks for responding.

wow i like it! can I have one?
Absolutely!! Hehe 😜
Love how natural this is, but he careful about giving your dog or anyone much peanut butter. It's high in oxalates and lectins and can contribute to heart issues and kidney stones. Guessing a bit is fine though! Not everyone is as sensitive as I am 🙏
Yes these are definitely meant to be a treat given in moderation. Especially if these foods are new to anyone’s dog and you’re not sure how they will handle them. Thank you for watching and commenting! 😊
made some for dogs at work and out of 12 dogs only 2 liked them. going to need a different recipe
Oh I’m sorry to hear that. I appreciate you trying them and I hope those 2 dogs eventually finish off the rest of them for you!
Yams are best ingredient for frozen meals.. human or otherise :)
Right!? So true!!
How lond does this last if you want to sell them to people?
They don’t last well for much more than a week out of the fridge or freezer which is why I haven’t tried selling them myself. They don’t have any preservatives in them so it is most safe to keep them cold.
