Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 2 cups rolled oats
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, mashed banana, and rolled oats. Stir until a thick, cohesive dough forms that is sticky but able to hold its shape.
- Shape the Cookies: Using your hands or a spoon, form the dough into small cookie shapes suitable for your dog’s size. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly.
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 25-30 minutes or until they are firm to the touch and slightly golden around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before serving to your dog. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Ensure the pumpkin purée is pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugars and spices harmful to dogs.
- You can substitute rolled oats with oat flour by grinding the oats if you want a finer texture.
- Always introduce new treats gradually and consult your veterinarian if your dog has special dietary needs.
- These cookies are designed as treats and should be given in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
