Banana Almond Dog Treat Recipe

The soft, naturally sweet, banana almond dog treats this recipe creates are delicious... and gluten free too.

Gluten free banana and almond dog treats cooling on baking rack

Loved by dogs of all sizes and ages, they're especially good for tiny dogs, puppies and senior who like (or need) their treats to be on the softer side. Obviously they're also perfect for dogs with gluten intolerance or sensitivities!

I use silicone molds for these treats as the dough is soft and a little sticky. There are loads of different designs, and sizes, to choose from. I just love these little pawprints!


Ingredients List

  • 1 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup almond butter
  • 1/2 cup mashed banana
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/4 cup almond milk

Tips for working with this dough...

This dough can be sticky which makes it a little messy to work with. If you want to chill the dough for 10 minutes first that helps. Also working quickly while filling molds leads to less-sticky fingers. 

Payback is that these banana almond dog treats smell absolutely delicious while they're baking! And they taste pretty good too. Go ahead and try one for yourself. All human-safe, premium ingredients means that Fido isn't the only one who can enjoy these goodies.
