Easy Homemade Dog Treats

I love these simple, healthy dog treats. I use this as my base recipe and add in other ingredients like shredded cheese, coconut shreds, and nutritional yeast. I also like to sup in chicken broth instead of water. So many fun ways to make dog treats.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of rolled oats ground into a fine powder (you can also use oat flour, whole wheat flour, or other similar flours)

• 2 ripe bananas

• 1/2 cup of all-natural peanut butter (make sure there is no xylitol or other artificial sweeteners in the peanut butter which can be toxic to dogs)

• 1 tbsp of ground flax seed

• 1 tbsp of ground hemp powder

• 1 tbsp ground chia seeds

• 1 egg

• 1/4 cup of coconut water (or regular filtered water)

Method

Combine ingredients. Mix well. Leave the dough in a mixing bowl. Cover with saran wrap. Rest in the refrigerator for one hour.

Preheat oven to 300° F (150° C).

Roll the dough out into a 1/4 inch thick sheet and use a cookie cutter to cut our desired shapes and sizes. You can also use silicon dog treat molds.

Bake 30-40 minutes until firm but not burnt. If you are using silicon baking mats, you may need to bake the treats for 45-55 minutes depending on how thick they are.

Allow cooling for one hour.

Store in a sealed container for up to 5 days. Refrigerate to keep longer.
