If you're a dog owner, you know how much your furry friend loves treats. And while there are plenty of store-bought options available, making your own dog treats is not only fun, but it can also be healthier for your pup since you control the ingredients. Plus, it's a great way to bond with your pet and show them how much you care.
In this blog post, we'll share a simple 3-ingredient dog treat recipe that your pup is sure to love.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (make sure it doesn't contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe banana until it's mostly smooth.
3. Add the rolled oats and peanut butter to the bowl and stir until well combined.
4. Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the dough and place the balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
5. Use a fork to press down on each ball of dough to flatten it slightly.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the treats are lightly golden brown and firm to the touch.
7. Remove the treats from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
8. Store the treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
That's it! This recipe makes about 12-15 treats depending on the size of your cookie scoop or spoon. Your pup will love the combination of peanut butter and banana, and the rolled oats add a nice crunch. Plus, all of these ingredients are safe and healthy for dogs in moderation.
If your pup has any dietary restrictions or allergies, you can easily modify this recipe by swapping out the ingredients. For example, you could use pumpkin puree instead of banana, or almond butter instead of peanut butter.
Homemade dog treats are a great way to spoil your furry friend and show them how much you care. Plus, they're easy to make and you can control the ingredients to ensure that your pup is getting a healthy and delicious snack. Give this 3-ingredient recipe a try and see how much your dog loves it!
