Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, thoroughly mash the ripe banana until it's smooth and no large chunks remain.1 ripe banana ripe banana
- Add the whole wheat flour, mixed berries (if using larger berries, give them a light mash), and unsweetened applesauce to the mashed banana.1 ripe banana ripe banana, 1 cup whole wheat flour, ½ cup mixed berries, 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
- Stir everything together until a sticky dough forms. It should be thick enough to handle but might still be a bit clingy.
- Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) or flatten them slightly with your hand. You can also use a small cookie cutter if you have one. Place the formed treats onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the treats are firm to the touch. The cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of your treats.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the treats cool completely on a wire rack before serving them to your dog. This ensures they are hard enough and safe to eat.
Notes
Store cooled treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2-3 months. Warm gently if preferred.
