Too hot to cook? No worries! You can whip up this tasty homemade banana dog treat recipe in your microwave! Like our peanut butter banana pup pops and no-bake peanut butter treats, these babies don’t require you to turn on the oven at all. If memory serves me, I think this is our first microwavable dog treat recipe. It was so much fun to make, though, so I definitely want to try out some more in the future!
This particular recipe is perfect for senior dogs with fewer teeth. The consistency is that of a soft treat, yet it’s still loaded with plenty of tasty ingredients. Since it contains flour and milk, I wouldn’t really call it a hypoallergenic dog treat. However, if you keep reading, I’ll give you some tips on how to make it more allergy-friendly for your dog. Let’s check out how to make it!

Tips to make it a hypoallergenic dog treat recipe
Depending on your dog’s allergies, you can make a few easy swaps and turn this into a hypoallergenic dog treat. Check out these swaps you can make for the most common allergens:
- Egg: in this recipe, the egg helps to bind the other ingredients together. You can swap it with something like 1/4 cup of pureed baby food in a complimentary flavor. Agar Agar
(a vegetarian alternative to gelatin) is also safe for dogs, if you happen to have it on hand.
- Milk: since it’s acting as a moisture-provider here, you can probably swap it with juice. It will change the consistency and taste a bit, but it should still work.
- Flour: We usually use wheat flour in our non-hypoallergenic treats, but pretty much anything goes. Coconut flour, almond meal, extra oats, it’s up to you.
- Rice: Most dogs tolerate rice pretty well, but if your pooch is allergic, you can either leave this out and add more of the oats or flour, or swap it with another type of rice. Did you know they make cauliflower rice? Check out this resource for ideas.
