Banana Oatmeal Dog Treats

If you're searching for a wholesome, fuss-free dog treat recipe, these Banana Oatmeal Dog Treats are exactly what you need.

My golden retriever, Lola, has always had a soft spot for anything banana. One chilly morning, I saw her nosing around the fruit basket and decided to bake her something comforting and healthy. I mashed up a banana, tossed in some oats, and added a few dog-safe extras—and the result? Tail wags for days.

This simple recipe sits right beside others we've tried like these Applesauce Carrot Dog Treats , which are another favorite when Lola needs a vitamin boost.

• 1 ripe banana (mashed)

• 1 cup rolled oats (whole or ground)

• 1 egg (for binding)

• Optional: 1 tbsp xylitol-free peanut butter or unsweetened applesauce
  
  

If you're experimenting, we've also enjoyed the texture of Pumpkin Oatmeal Applesauce Dog Treats .

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a medium bowl, mash the banana until smooth.

3. Add the egg and mix well.

4. Stir in oats (and peanut butter/applesauce if using) to form a dough.

5. Scoop into balls or press into cookie cutter shapes.

6. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

7. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until lightly golden.

8. Let cool completely before serving.

• Bananas : Great source of potassium, fiber, and vitamin B6

• Oats : Gentle on the stomach, good for digestion

• Eggs : Protein-rich and help bind the treats naturally

• Peanut Butter (optional) : Adds flavor and healthy fat (always xylitol-free)

This recipe pairs well with YogurtApplesauce Peanut Butter Dog Treats if your dog enjoys variety.

• Add shredded carrots or apples for crunch

• Swap the egg for applesauce or flaxseed meal for a softer chew

• Shape into paws, bones, or hearts using silicone molds

Lola now recognizes the sound of the mixing bowl. As soon as she hears it, she runs to the kitchen, sits quietly, and waits for her taste test. It’s become a little tradition between us—one that makes baking feel extra special.

Some of our favorite shared moments also happen while prepping Frozen Dog Treats in Ice Cube Trays —perfect for warm days.

• Cool Summer Treats for Dogs

• Fast 15-Minute Bacon Cheddar Dog Treats

• Store in an airtight container at room temp for 3–5 days

• Refrigerate for up to 7 days

• Freeze for longer storage (up to 2 months)

• Let thaw before serving if frozen
  
  

We also like to keep Frozen Applesauce Dog Treats on hand for backup snacks.

• Dough too dry? Add a splash of water or mashed banana

• Dough too wet? Mix in extra oats

• Want a crunchier texture? Bake a few minutes longer
  
  

This is similar to what we experienced when trying Bacon Cheddar Dog Treats —adjusting texture makes all the difference.

These Banana Oatmeal Dog Treats are more than just a snack—they’re a heartfelt way to connect with your pup. For me and Lola, baking together is our way of slowing down and showing love in the form of soft, chewy goodness.
