1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—trust me on this step.
2. Mash those ripe bananas until smooth and fragrant (if your pup can resist investigating).
3. Gradually mix in coconut flour, then add egg and applesauce until well combined.
4. Add water slowly until you have dough that holds together when squeezed but isn’t too sticky.
5. Roll into walnut-sized balls and place on your prepared baking sheet.
6. Flatten gently with a fork to create those cute ridges and help even baking.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.
8. Let cool completely before serving—this is crucial for safety and best texture!

Notes:

• Always let cool completely to avoid burning eager mouths and for perfect chewiness
• Amber prefers these slightly soft, but some dogs like them crispier—adjust baking time accordingly
• Coconut flour absorbs liquid differently than regular flour, so add water gradually

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week
• Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks for maximum freshness
• To restore texture, warm in 200°F oven for 5 minutes

What Makes This Recipe Special:

These treats combine the heart-healthy potassium from bananas with coconut flour’s natural fiber, creating grain-free treats that support digestive health while satisfying dogs’ natural sweet tooth. Unlike commercial treats with artificial banana flavoring, these deliver real fruit nutrition in every bite.
