Homemade Banana and Pumpkin Dog Treats

Last updated on October 12th, 2020 at 05:48 pm

When fall arrives, so do the pumpkin-flavored treats. This year, let’s not forget our furry friends! I have a recipe for homemade banana and pumpkin dog treats your favorite pup will love. You’ll like this recipe too because it only has four ingredients and is super simple to make. You’ll be whipping up these tasty treats for your dog again and again–even after pumpkin season is over.

Yields: 1 dozen (2-inch cookie cutter)

Ingredients:

1 ripe banana, mashed
1/3 cup pumpkin purée
1/2 cup whole wheat flour plus one Tablespoon
1-2 Tablespoons water
a dollop of applesauce (If you don’t have this on hand, the recipe will work without it.)
dog bone cookie cutter (like this one)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Then, in a large mixing bowl, mash a very ripe banana with a fork. Add the pumpkin purée, applesauce, flour and one Tablespoon water. Mix well.

2. Dust your workspace with one Tablespoon of the whole wheat flour, and place the dog biscuit dough on top. Then knead 8-10 times. Add one Tablespoon of water if the dough is too dry.

3. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

4. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to about 1/4″ thickness. Cut into dog bone shapes with your cookie cutter, and place on the lined cookie sheet.

5. Bake for 20 minutes. Then cool on a wire rack.

6. Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
