Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped or mashed
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, finely chopped or mashed strawberries, unsweetened applesauce, and egg. Stir thoroughly until well combined.
- Add Oats and Form Dough: Gradually add the rolled oats to the wet mixture and stir until the dough becomes thick and holds together well.
- Shape Treats: Scoop out small portions of dough about 1 tablespoon each. Roll them into balls or flatten slightly to help them bake evenly. Place each treat onto the prepared baking sheet spaced apart.
- Bake Treats: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the treats are firm and lightly golden on the bottom.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the treats from the oven and allow them to cool completely before offering them to your dog.
Notes
- Store treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For longer storage, freeze treats for up to 2 months.
- Always use dog-safe ingredients and avoid any added sugar, artificial sweeteners, or preservatives to ensure your pet’s safety.
