Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 ripe bananas

  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, honey, egg, and applesauce, stirring until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats and any optional add-ins like cinnamon or flaxseed.
  4. Gradually add the oat mixture to the banana and pumpkin mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms.
  5. Scoop small portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
  6. Place the chews on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until firm to the touch and slightly golden around the edges.
  7. Let the chews cool completely on a wire rack before serving to your dog.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for a sweeter flavor.
  • Ensure the pumpkin puree is pure and unsweetened (not pumpkin pie filling).
  • Store chews in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Customize the recipe with optional add-ins like peanut butter (without xylitol), coconut oil, or cinnamon.
