Ingredients
1 ripe banana, mashed
½ cup pure pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
½ cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour for a gentler option)
1 egg

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mash the banana in a medium mixing bowl until smooth.
Add pumpkin puree, peanut butter, and egg, mixing until well combined.

Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness.
Cut into bone shapes using a cookie cutter.
Place treats on the baking sheet and bake for 18–22 minutes until firm and lightly golden.
Cool completely before giving them to your dog.

For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
You can also freeze the treats for up to 3 months and thaw a few at a time.
Serving Sizes
