Here is another favourite homemade dog treat recipe – rated 10/10 by my dogs!
It is so fast and easy to whip up a quick batch, and BOY does it make for some happy pups!
I personally love recipes that have simple ingredients that I typically have on hand, rather than having to make a special trip to the grocery store.
These treats only take banana, peanut butter, yogurt, egg, and raw oatmeal.
Start by mixing the wet ingredients into an even consistency (smoothing any out any lumps in the batter).
The riper the banana is, the easier it is to get a nice creamy consistency without lumps (frozen bananas work well, too)!
Then add the raw oatmeal and mix.
The consistency should be dry enough that it is easy to work into balls with your hands, but not so dry that it crumbles apart.
If you have a cute cookie cutter, you can roll the dough out and cut into shapes.
For a faster option with less clean-up, I usually form the treats into balls by hand (about the size of golf balls).
Bake at 350º for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool fully and let your pup enjoy the tasty treat!
As with any treat, you don’t want to give your dog too many at a time; I don’t give my dogs more than one or two of these a day.
And of course they have to do a trick to earn their treat!
PRO TIP: I feed these treats outside as they tend to crumble while being eaten.
