As I mentioned, you can cater homemade dog food and dog treat recipes to meet your pet’s specific needs. If your dog needs a grain-free recipe, you could use almond or coconut flour in place of the oats.

Be sure to check the nutritional information below, and do not feed too many of these treats in one day. As with any dog treats, feeding too many will add unnecessary calories to your dog’s diet.

You’ll need to increase your pet’s activity level in order to burn off extra calories. It’s important to keep your pet lean and prevent obesity.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 1/2 cups oats
  • 3 medium bananas
  • 2 tbsp. raw honey
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp. ground flaxseed

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°.

Mash the bananas in a large bowl. Add the honey, oats, cinnamon and flaxseed to the bowl.

Mix to combine. You want the dough to hold together, but you don’t want it to be too wet.

If it’s not holding together, add some water 1 tablespoon at a time until you get the right consistency. If the mixture is too wet, add more oats1 tablespoon at a time until you get the right consistency.

You can roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and use cookie cutters to form the treats into cute shapes. You can also drop small spoonfuls of the dough onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

I use a small ice cream scoop to form the treats. No matter what you do, place the cookies on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

Bake the treats for about 15 minutes. The bigger you make the treats, the longer you’ll need to bake them.

When they begin to turn light brown, you’ll know they are finished baking.
