Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 1/2 cups (590 ml) whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) rolled oats
Binding Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) water (add more if needed for dough consistency)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, transform ripe bananas into a smooth, creamy consistency using a fork or potato masher.
- Introduce honey and egg to the mashed bananas, whisking thoroughly to create a uniform mixture.
- Gradually incorporate whole wheat flour and rolled oats, stirring until a cohesive dough develops.
- If the mixture seems dry, add small amounts of water to achieve the right texture, ensuring the dough remains manageable and not overly wet.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it out to approximately ¼ inch thickness, creating an even base for your dog treats.
- Use cookie cutters to craft playful shapes or simply slice the dough into rustic squares using a knife for a homemade touch.
- Arrange the uncooked biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving slight spacing between each treat.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown color and a firm texture that indicates complete cooking.
- Remove from the oven and transfer biscuits to a wire rack, allowing them to cool completely before offering to your canine companion.
Notes
- Customize the texture by adjusting water amount to prevent overly sticky or dry dough.
- Use gluten-free flour alternatives like rice or oat flour for dogs with wheat sensitivities.
- Experiment with additional dog-safe ingredients like peanut butter or unsweetened applesauce for extra flavor variety.
- Allow biscuits to crisp completely during cooling to ensure optimal crunchiness and dental health benefits for dogs.
