You just can’t beat 2 ingredient dog treats. And these crunchy little gems are nothing short of amazing!

With only two simple ingredients, they are as healthy as they come and taste oddly similar to black bean chips.

These tasty little snacks are especially handy if you’re looking for an easy dog treat recipe without peanut butter or pumpkin (staples you’ll find in most dog treat recipes!)

I can promise you your dog is going to love these homemade 2 ingredient dog treats. My Coco Bean sure did!

2. Using a fork, mash the drained black beans in a bowl.
3. When they are mostly mashed, add in almond flour little by little, mixing in between.
4. Once well combined roll out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If the dough is a little sticky, sprinkle coconut flour on top and then roll out flat.
5. Using a knife (or pizza slicer/cookie cutter) cut out treats into bite sizes.
6. Bake for 15 minutes, flip and bake for another 15 minutes.
7. If still soft, turn the temperature down to 200ºF and let set until crunchy.
