Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup coconut flour (optional, for binding)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1/4 cup water (or as needed for consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, chopped strawberries, shredded coconut, and coconut flour (if using).
- Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined. If the mixture is too dry, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until a dough-like consistency is achieved.
- If using honey, mix it into the dough at this point.
- Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, portion out small bite-sized pieces onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape them into balls or flatten slightly.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bites are firm to the touch and lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving to your dog.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Substitutions: You can use oat flour instead of coconut flour, or substitute blueberries for strawberries.
- Add-ins: A spoonful of pumpkin puree or a dash of cinnamon can add extra flavor and nutritional benefits.
- Storage: These treats are best enjoyed fresh. Make small batches and store them properly to maintain freshness.
