🥣How To Make Homemade Hemp Dog Treats

1️⃣ Step One: Prepare for baking

Preheat the oven to 325F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set it aside.

2️⃣ Step Two: Combine ingredients

In a large bowl, add the banana, egg, peanut butter, and oats. Use a wooden spoon to make sure all of the ingredients are fully combined.

3️⃣ Step Three: Add the hemp seeds

To the wet combined mixture, pour in the hemp seeds and stir until they are evenly mixed and distributed.

4️⃣ Step Four: Assemble and bake

Using a spoon or cookie dough scoop, make dough balls that are 1.5 tablespoons full. Drop them onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through. Let cool before serving and storing in the fridge.

👩🏻‍🍳Recipe Tips and Variations

You can use any nut butter you prefer. I would stick to peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter as long as it’s made with natural ingredients.

When choosing your ingredients, avoid anything with xylitol in it as this is toxic for dogs.

If your banana is too ripe and sweet, you may need to reduce the number of oats slightly so that they are not too sticky.

These homemade dog biscuits can also easily be made into smaller treats by using a mini cookie dough scoop. Just reduce the baking time by a few minutes.

If you live in a hot climate, or your pup is always panting, you can try freezing these treats for an extra cool and refreshing snack.

Make sure you’re using certified gluten-free oats if your pup has gluten sensitivity.

🧊How To Store

Storing: These easy homemade dog treats will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 2 weeks if stored in an airtight container.

Freezing: If you want to store them for a longer period of time, they can be frozen in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag for up to 6 months. Let them thaw overnight on the counter before serving.
