Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
- Add the fresh blueberries to the mashed banana and gently mix until evenly incorporated.
- Stir in the rolled oats and whole wheat flour until the mixture is well combined.
- Add the plain yogurt and honey (if using) to the mixture and mix until a dough forms.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough and roll each portion into a ball, placing them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the balls are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and allow the treats to cool completely on a wire rack before serving to your dog.
