Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana (mashed)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce OR 1/2 finely grated apple
  • 1 cup rolled oats (quick or regular)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the treats.
  2. Mash Banana: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly until smooth.
  3. Add Applesauce and Cinnamon: Stir in the unsweetened applesauce (or grated apple) and ground cinnamon into the mashed banana, combining well.
  4. Mix in Oats: Add the rolled oats to the wet ingredients, mixing until a thick, consistent dough forms.
  5. Shape Treats: Form the dough into small balls or flatten the mixture with a fork onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake: Place the shaped treats into the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden.
  7. Cool Down: Remove the treats from the oven and allow them to cool completely before serving to your dog.
  8. No-Bake Option: For no-bake treats, mix all ingredients as above, roll the mixture into balls, place on a parchment-lined tray, then freeze for 1 to 2 hours until firm. Store frozen and serve as needed.

Notes

  • You can substitute the unsweetened applesauce with a finely grated fresh apple for a more natural texture.
  • The cinnamon is optional but adds a subtle flavor that dogs usually enjoy.
  • Make sure the treats cool completely before giving them to your dog to prevent any discomfort.
  • Store the baked treats in an airtight container for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
  • The no-bake frozen treats are especially refreshing for dogs on hot days.
  • These treats are made without added sugars or salts, keeping them healthy and safe for dogs.
