Sharing a new dog treat recipe I created yesterday - Banana, Sweet Potato & Oatmeal Dog Treats. They are gluten-free and packed with lots of vitamins and fiber. I frequently roast diced sweet potatoes and add them to Indigo & Lily's food and they love them. Adding banana to this recipe made them smell wonderful when they came out of the oven and I had to hide them ... Indigo & Lily went bananas over the aroma!
- Sweet potatoes are a great source of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fiber for your pup (ref dogtime).
- Bananas have lots of electrolytes, amino acids, vitamins, potassium and fiber for your pup(ref: Paw Nation).
By the way, I always taste-test my dog treat recipes and this one I would even eat as a healthy snack ... the banana and sweet potatoes make it just sweet enough!
Be sure to also check out my other dog treat recipes...they are all gluten-free. Indigo & Lily love them and I hope your pups do too!

- 1/2 very ripe banana, mashed

To roast sweet potatoes:

- Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes (don't skip this step).
- Scoop on baking sheet coated with cooking spray using small cookie scoop. Flatten with a wet fork. Another option is to roll out and use cookie cutters.

Notes:
I grind my own oat flour from gluten free oatmeal, but you can also use Bob's Red Mill Oat Flour.
