Snowy Day Peanut Butter & Banana Dog Treats
Homemade dog treats are a simple way to spoil your dog with something made just for them. These simple Peanut Butter & Banana Bites are as fun to make as they are for your pup to enjoy.
Equipment
- 1 Rolling Pin
- 1 Cutting Board
- 1 Baking Sheet
- 1 Cookie Cutter
Ingredients
- 1 Ripe Banana mashed
- ½ C Unsweetened Peanut Butter xylitol-free
- 1 C Oat Flour
- 1 Tbsp Ground Flaxseed
- ¼ C Water if needed for dough consistency
- 1 Tbsp Coconut Shavings optional
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C)
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Stir in the peanut butter until well combined. Add the oat flour and flaxseed, mixing until the dough comes together. If the dough feels too dry, add water a little at a time.
- Shape the Treats: Roll out the dough to 1/4" thickness and use your fun cookie cutters. If you don't have a cookie cutter, you can make small bite size balls instead. For more options, you can also use silicone molds for this recipe.
- Bake: Place the treats on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Remove Treats from Oven: Option to sprinkle the treats with coconut flakes at this time.
- Cool Completely: Let the treats cool thoroughly before serving. This ensures they're safe and crunchy for your dog.
Notes
Ingredient Substitutions:
- You can substitute oat flour with any of the above flour if your dog tolerates it. Adjust water as needed to achieve the right dough consistency.
- If your dog isn't a fan of bananas, try substituting it with plain pumpkin puree or mashed sweet potato.
