Banana Dog Treats
This quick and easy recipe for homemade banana dog treats is made with only 4 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 two in seconds.
Banana Dog Treats
Ingredients:
- 3½ cups of old-fashioned oats
- 3 over-ripe bananas
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 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 then 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.

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