Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup roasted butternut squash
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 3 cups whole wheat flour 12 oz.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C / Gas Mark 4
  • Peel, seed and chop butternut squash. Place on baking sheet, cover with foil and roast for 30 - 40 minutes until very tender. Set aside to cool to room temp.
  • In a medium mixing bowl - whisk eggs, then add banana and cooked butternut squash.
  • Using a potato masher, break up banana and squash until mixture is uniform, with no large pieces remaining.
  • Sprinkle in whole wheat flour and stir to combine. Use your hands to incorporate remaining flour and form dough into a ball. (Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes if necessary)
  • Flour your work surface and a rolling pin. Roll dough out to 1/8" thickness. Use 2 inch cookie cutter to cut shapes out of dough.
  • Place treats on parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 18 - 20 minutes.
  • Cool completely before giving to your dog.

Notes

  • I've included the roasting time for the squash in the total time. If done ahead of time, these treats will only take you roughly 35 minutes from start to finish.
  • The recipe yields 95 treats when using a 2 inch cookie cutter. If you use a larger cutter, your yield will be less. A smaller cutter will yield more than 95.
