There's not much they love more than fresh, homemade treats-lots of tail wags and happy barks!
I love using fruits and veggies in their snacks, and sweet potatoes and bananas are not only delicious, but also great for their health!

?Homemade Sweet Potato Banana Dog Treats Recipe
?Ingredients:
2 cups Whole Wheat Flour - divided (1 ½ cups for recipe, the other ½ cup for rolling out dough)
¼ cup Whole Oats
1 Banana
2 eggs
1 4-oz jar of Sweet Potato baby food (I used chicken and sweet potato for some added flavor)
(Will need parchment paper)
?Instructions
Preheat oven to 300°F
Mash the banana in a bowl, then add the sweet potato baby food. Mix until well combined.
In another bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, oats, and eggs.
Combine the sweet potatoes and banana mixture with the flour mixture and stir until all ingredients are combined.
Using the ½ cup of wheat flour, sprinkle some out on your work surface and knead the dough, adding the extra flour as you go until the mixture is no longer sticky and is able to be flattened out to ¼ inch thick.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Using a butter knife, cut the dough into 1-inch x 1-inch squares and place on the lined cookie sheet.
I used the back end of a fork to make impressions, simply for style; this is optional.
⏲️Baking time
Bake at 300°F for 45-55 minutes.
Once they are done baking, turn off the oven and let them cool completely in the oven so they can dry out as much as possible.
Once cooled, store in an airtight container. They should last a few days on the counter.
These dog treats will keep longer if stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
Let your pooch enjoy!
