1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease 8×9 inch baking pan for perfect square thickness.
2. Mix mashed bananas with honey until well combined and gorgeously golden-colored.
3. Gradually add whole wheat flour and water, stirring until thick batter forms that smells like comfort food heaven.
4. Fold in rolled oats for amazing texture contrast and coat-supporting nutrients throughout.
5. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan—no thick or thin spots for consistent baking.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and firm with incredible aroma filling your kitchen.
7. Always let cool completely before cutting into squares—hot treats can burn your pup’s mouth.

Notes:

• Always let cool completely—hot banana treats can burn your pup’s mouth
• Amber prefers these when they’re firm enough to hold shape but still tender and moist throughout
• If batter seems thick, add water gradually; if too thin, add more flour until right consistency

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week (they maintain moisture beautifully)
• Freeze individual squares for up to 2 months—perfect for maintaining fresh banana flavor year-round
• Don’t refrigerate these—they’ll get soggy and lose their perfect cake-like texture

What Makes This Recipe Special:
