Don’t these Strawberry Dog Treats look delicious? Most dogs have a sweet tooth just like people, haven’t you ever caught Fido trying to snatch a cookie? There are ways to indulge their canine cravings without the dangers of chocolate or processed sugar overload. Fresh fruit offers a natural sweetness to these dog treats, along with all the benefits of fresh fruit- strawberries for their phytonutrients and antioxidant properties, while bananas offer potassium and amino acids. You can feel really good about slipping your beloved pet these treats knowing they are made with wholesome ingredients and no additives, food dye, or preservatives.
Strawberry Dog Treats Ingredients:
- ½ cup diced strawberries
- 1 banana
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup oatmeal
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
Strawberry Dog Treats Directions:
Mash bananas and strawberries.
Add in flour, oatmeal, and yogurt. Stir until well combined.
Turn dough out onto well floured counter, dough will be sticky.
Flatten to 1/4” with your floured hands or rolling pin.
Cut shapes with cookie cutters or use a small cup for circles.
Place on lightly greased cookie sheet.
Bake in oven preheated to 350° F for 15-17 minutes until golden and still slightly soft.
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
Is there any dairy alternative for Greek yogurt? We don’t give our dogs dairy because of an allergy.
Try plant-based yogurts using almond, coconut and soy ingredients
My little yorkie loves these treats, thank you for the recipe!!!
My pups love these but I found the dough really hard to work with.
Think I need to make some of these strawberry treats for my dogs, but they may have to fight me for them, because they look REALLY delicious. LOL
I agree, Tera! They look yummy. :)
What could I use instead of wheat flory and oatmeal as one if my pooches is grain free?
Truth be told my 2 get so excited seeing fruit rather than anything else they can eat. They get excited and look through the shopping and try to open all the fruits and veg at times! One loves blueberries, mange tout, all red berries and clementines etc and the other loves red peppers, asparagus, straws’ , raspberries, oranges etc etc (everything raw!) – they would only eat fruit if I allowed it I’m sure. Not sure why this is so can only assume it’s because I constantly eat fruit! So I def’ want to make these for them – would it be the same measures if I swapped the straws’ for rasp/blackberries or other fruits? Sorry to be a pain – am excited to make these – must avoid eating them myself whilst making them! Many many thanks for everything- hugs xx
I suggest trying coconut flour. that’s what I intend on making them with. The recipe may have to be adjusted a little but its a better alternative.
Hi there,
I’m interested in making these, how many do these make roughly? Just asking as I only have one dog and don’t want to make too many! Just wondering if I should half the recipe?
Thanks.
Is it cooked oatmeal, or just oats? thank you,
Just oats, they don’t have to be pre-cooked. Hope that helps! :) Thanks for stopping by.
