Homemade Pumpkin Banana Dog Treats

Ingredients List

• 2 cups whole-wheat flour
• 1 ripe banana (mashed)
• 1 cup pumpkin puree 
• 1 tbsp barley malt syrup
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed

You can use your own homemade pumpkin puree or the canned variety. If you choose canned, make sure you don't pick up the pie filling by mistake.

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350F
• Line baking tray with parchment or silicone baking mat
• Mash banana
• Put banana, pumpkin and barley malt syrup into a large bowl
• Use a fork to mix these ingredients together well
• Add ground flaxseed to flour and stir in
• Add dry ingredients to wet, one cup at a time
• Combine well using a wooden spoon
• Dough should be dry, if it's too sticky use additional flour until you get the right consistency

• Turn dough out onto floured surface
• Use floured rolling pin to roll dough out to 1/4" thickness
• Cut treats into desired shape using cookie cutter
• Bake at 350F for 12 minutes
• Remove from oven and allow to cool completely

These treats look extra nice if you brush egg white over them to glaze before baking (I didn't do that in these photos).

These soft treats can be stored in the refrigerator for 7 - 10 days, if they last that long!
