Banana Dog Treats

This quick and easy recipe for homemade banana dog treats uses only four ingredients and will make your pup very happy.

Grace was out of dog treats so I found an easy banana dog treats recipe on Three Olives Branch that I thought she would love. I followed the recipe as written but needed to add a little flour while rolling because it was too wet & sticky. These homemade oat, chia seed, and banana dog treats were a huge hit with Grace and she devoured them in seconds.

Banana Dog Treats

Ingredients:

• 3½ cups of old-fashioned oats
• 3 over-ripe bananas
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• ½ tsp cinnamon

How to Make Homemade Banana Dog Treats

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Blend the 2½ cups of oats in a food processor until it’s a flour-like consistency. Place the ground oats in the large mixing bowl along with the remaining 1 cup of oats.

Mash the bananas very well, add to the oat mixture along with the chia seeds and cinnamon; mix until well combined.  Side Note: You may need to add more oats if the dough is too wet–you want the dough to hold together but not be sticky or wet. 

Roll out on a floured surface until ¼-inch thick, then using your desired cookie cutter, cut out the treat shapes, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Place into the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving them to a rack to finish cooling.

Homemade Banana Dog Treat Storing Options:

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
• Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two months.

I always store my homemade dog treats in the freezer and Grace enjoys her treats straight from the freezer.
