Recipe: Banana Oatmeal for Dogs

by Franga Designs

This is our household favorite and is best with Danish Creamery butter. Can be cooked in large batches on the stove or in a single serving in the microwave.

Ingredients:

1 banana
Uncooked oats—enough for one dog
Water
1 egg
A little bit of butter (not margarine)

Pour uncooked oats into a bowl. Add in peeled banana and water. Microwave 1 minute. Remain by microwave to make sure oatmeal does not bubble over. Stir and microwave another 1 minute. Add in 1 egg and about a teaspoon of butter. Beat egg evenly into oatmeal and microwave another 1-2 minutes or until egg is fully cooked. Add butter, mash bananas, cool and stir before serving.

Variations: Frozen blueberries may be mixed in to cool oatmeal faster. Pop the berries with a fork to make sure your dog gets the nutrition. Peanut butter also goes nicely in oatmeal.
