Carrot & Banana Natural Dog Treats Homemade

By MJH

Homemade Carrot & Banana Natural Dog Treats for your four legged fury friends.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 1 bunch fresh carrots, finely chopped or grated
• 2-3 fresh bananas, peeled and mashed
• 1 beaten egg
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar (*optional, we went without)
• 1/2 cup cold water

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit and grease cookie sheets.

Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, then add in carrots, bananas, egg, oil, and water until well blended into a workable dough.

Chopping both the carrots and the bananas up first in a food processor will save time and create a mash that will blend better into the rest of the base ingredients.

Flour your workspace and roll out dough to desired thickness. (About ½ inch.)

Cut treats into desired shape and size, place on baking sheet and bake 35 minutes.

After baking, turn the oven off and leave cookies inside for another 30-45 minutes until crisp.

Remove and let cool.

Transfer to zipper bags or airtight containers and freeze to preserve freshness.

Thaw completely before serving.
