Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup (160g) oat flour
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter, plus extra for drizzling if desired
Instructions
- Prep oven and baking sheet: Heat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the treats from sticking and ensure an even bake.
- Mix the dough: Combine the oat flour, mashed ripe bananas, and natural peanut butter in a food processor. Pulse the mixture until it forms a uniform, evenly mixed dough with no lumps, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Roll and cut: Lightly flour a clean surface using extra oat flour or whole wheat flour and roll the dough out to a ¼-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes, then transfer the cutouts onto the prepared baking sheet. Gather any leftover dough, re-roll, and cut until all dough is used.
- Bake the treats: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the dog treats for 25-30 minutes until they turn lightly golden, indicating they are cooked through and slightly crisp.
- Cool and serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the treats to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature. If desired, drizzle with melted peanut butter for extra flavor before serving to your dog.
Notes
- Use natural peanut butter free from xylitol and added sugar as it is safe for dogs.
- Ensure bananas are ripe to add natural sweetness and binding.
- You can substitute oat flour with whole wheat flour if preferred.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- These treats are intended as a snack and should be given in moderation alongside a balanced diet.
