Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana (mashed)
- 1 cup rolled oats (whole or ground into flour)
- 1/4 cup xylitol-free peanut butter
- 1 egg
Optional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
- A dash of cinnamon (only if your vet approves)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dog treats.
- Mash Banana: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mash the ripe banana until smooth to create a moist base for the dough.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the xylitol-free peanut butter and egg into the mashed banana until well combined.
- Incorporate Oats: Gradually mix in the rolled oats until a workable dough forms; you can use whole oats or oat flour depending on texture preference.
- Shape Treats: Roll or press the dough into your preferred shapes and sizes suitable for your dog.
- Bake: Place the shaped treats on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes until firm and lightly golden.
- Cool Down: Remove the treats from the oven and allow them to cool completely before serving to your dog to prevent burns and ensure texture sets properly.
Notes
- Ensure peanut butter is xylitol-free as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
- Add grated carrot or zucchini for extra nutrition and variety.
- Swap the egg with flaxseed meal or additional applesauce for an egg-free version.
- Use almond flour instead of oats for a grain-free alternative.
- Store treats in an airtight container for 5–7 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Allow frozen treats to thaw slightly before serving.
- If dough is too dry, add more banana or applesauce; if too wet, add extra oats.
- Bake for a few extra minutes for crunchier treats.
- Consult your vet before adding cinnamon or other spices.
