1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—don’t skip the parchment for easy cleanup!
2. Mash bananas completely in a large bowl until smooth and creamy—the riper, the sweeter your treats will be.
3. Add honey to mashed bananas and mix well until completely combined and golden colored.
4. Stir in rolled oats and whole wheat flour gradually until you get a sticky dough that holds together when squeezed.
5. Roll mixture into walnut-sized balls using your hands and place on prepared baking sheet with space between each one.
6. Bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch—start checking at 15 minutes to prevent overbaking.
7. Cool completely before serving (if your pup can wait that long).

Notes:

• Only give honey to dogs over one year old—puppies under 12 months should avoid honey
• Amber prefers these with a slight chew, but they’re great fully crispy too
• If dough feels too wet, add whole wheat flour one tablespoon at a time

Storage Tips:

• Store in refrigerator in airtight container for up to one week
• Freeze individual balls for up to 2 months—perfect for portion control
• Don’t leave out on counter—they’ll get mushy without refrigeration

What Makes This Recipe Special:

These balls deliver natural potassium from bananas for heart health, sustained energy from pure honey, and digestive fiber from rolled oats. The combination creates naturally sweet treats that satisfy dogs’ desire for dessert while providing whole food nutrition that supports energy levels and digestive wellness without artificial additives.
