It all started with Rin—my bouncy, bright-eyed rescue pup who stole my heart the minute I saw him. After noticing that some store-bought treats upset his tummy, I wanted to create something simple, wholesome, and easy to digest. That’s when I landed on these banana pumpkin dog treats.
They reminded me of these Pumpkin Puree and Banana Dog Treats I had seen before, so I made my own twist.
I love knowing exactly what goes into Rin’s food, and these soft, chewy bites have become one of his absolute favorites!
You only need a few pantry staples:
1 ripe banana (mashed)
½ cup pumpkin purée (plain, unsweetened—not pumpkin pie filling!)
1 egg
1½ cups oat flour (or finely ground rolled oats)
Optional add-ins:
A dash of cinnamon (if your dog isn’t sensitive to it)
A few crushed blueberries or finely grated carrot

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mash the banana in a large bowl until smooth.
Stir in the pumpkin purée and egg.
Add the oat flour a bit at a time until dough forms.
Roll out the dough and cut into shapes with cookie cutters.
Place on a parchment-lined baking tray.
Bake for 15–18 minutes or until edges turn golden.
Let cool completely before serving.
Every ingredient in this recipe was chosen for a reason:
