VEGETARIAN DOG TREAT RECIPE
I thought a meat free dog treat recipe without using liver or meat would make a nice change so I thought I’d try banana alongside peanut butter and honey to make recipe I call Banana Bombs! These dog treats are great, they have a hard crusty shell which makes them excellent to carry around but moist and bready inside and packed with flavour! Dogs love them!
After making them I took some with me while I went out dog walking. Ruffles the Lhasa apso loved his and I even got plenty of attention from other people’s dogs who could smell them in my bag. So that’s a big paws up for them already!
INGREDIENTS
2 Eggs, 2 Bananas, 200g (1 cup) of Peanut Butter, Squirt of Honey, 200g (1 cup) of Wholemeal Flour, 200g (1 cup) of Cornflour
Please note: Some ‘low sugar’ peanut butters use xylitol sweetener as a substitute. Avoid this as it’s harmful to dogs.
Could you substitute unsulphured blackstrap molasses for honey ?
I have never even heard of that till now… but read this: http://canigivemydog.com/molasses
I would like to try the Banana Bomb recipe for my finicky Yorkie boy but would like to know what gluten free flour can I substitute for the cornflour and wholemeal? Can almond flour or tapioca flour or potato flour work just as well? What different ratio/grams/weight of the flours be compared to those you listed in original recipe?
Fantastic looking recipes, can’t wait to try them, thanks Jamie.
Well, I’m certain that I did something wrong, but stuck to the recipe but it was ridiculously wet and had to put over a cup more of flour to be able to use it. I followed the recipe and ingredients exactly. They are now in the oven. But I’m afraid as I added more flour I wasn’t sure how they would pan out so I managed to roll and make some in biscuits and half in the balls. Will let you know how they come out. But the dogs were happy to sit by me and lick the spoon!
How long do these treats keep, should I freeze them.
If frozen fresh, years.
Can you please clarify…is cornflour called corn starch in the U.S.? Can’t wait to try some of your recipes this weekend. Thanks!
I think so, yes. But cornflour is super finely ground. I know you can get Red Mill’s organic corn flour in the U.S. Take a look: http://www.amazon.com/Bobs-Red-Mill-Organic-24-Ounce/dp/B004VLVMOM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1438848511&sr=8-1&keywords=corn+flour
Thanks. Have used many Red Mill products!
