Why I Started Making Peanut Butter Pumpkin Banana Dog Treats

This recipe was inspired by my golden retriever, Zuri. She's always been a sensitive girl when it comes to treats—store-bought snacks would leave her with a grumbly tummy and itchy paws. I needed something simple, wholesome, and homemade. That’s how these Peanut Butter Pumpkin Banana Dog Treats were born!


It reminded me of when I tried this Pumpkin Almond Flour Dog Treat Recipe and realized how easy it is to bake with pantry staples. Plus, Zuri gets so excited when she smells these in the oven!


Ingredients You’ll Need

These treats are made with just a few dog-friendly, nutritious ingredients:


  • 1 ripe banana (mashed)

  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free!)

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin purée (plain, unsweetened)

  • 1 egg

  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups oat flour (or ground rolled oats)


Optional:


  • A dash of cinnamon

  • 1 tsp coconut oil for added shine in the coat

Bonding with My Dog During Prep

One of my favorite parts about this recipe is how Zuri gets involved. She sits at my feet, tail wagging, and licks the peanut butter spoon clean while I shape the dough. It reminds me of why I started baking for her in the first place—to show love with every little bite.
