1. Preheat oven to 325°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper—lower temperature prevents over-browning of coconut ingredients.
2. Mix mashed bananas with coconut flour until well combined and smooth—your dog will get excited from the sweet, tropical aroma.
3. Add melted coconut oil and stir until cohesive dough forms—let mixture sit 5 minutes for coconut flour to fully hydrate.
4. Fold in shredded coconut for delightful texture variation and extra tropical flavor throughout.
5. Roll into bite-sized balls and place on baking sheet, then flatten gently with fork for even baking.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and firm to touch—they’ll continue firming as they cool for perfect chewy texture!

Notes:

• Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for best sweetness and binding

• Lower baking temperature prevents over-browning of coconut ingredients

Storage Tips:
