Oatmeal Banana Dog Treats Easy

Easy, Wholesome, and Tail-Wagging Good

It all started with Finn—my energetic golden retriever with the world's goofiest smile and a never-ending appetite for anything remotely edible. One rainy Sunday, we were stuck indoors, and I wanted to treat him to something homemade, comforting, and good for his belly. That’s when I remembered a simple combo I used to eat as a kid: oatmeal and banana. Why not make a dog-friendly version?

The result? These Oatmeal Banana Dog Treats—soft, chewy, healthy, and ridiculously easy to make.

• 1 ripe banana (mashed)

• 1 cup rolled oats (blended into flour or left whole for texture)

• 1 egg (binds the mixture)

• Optional: 1 tbsp xylitol-free peanut butter for flavor

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Mash the banana in a large bowl until smooth.

3. Add the egg and mix until well combined.

4. Stir in oats (and peanut butter if using).

5. Mix until you have a sticky dough.

6. Roll into small balls or press into silicone molds.

7. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

8. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden on the edges.

9. Cool completely before serving.
