Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats
Description
The recipe begins by mixing old fashioned oats with mashed ripe bananas, peanut butter, and melted coconut oil, adding extra oats gradually until a non-sticky dough forms. The dough is lightly kneaded and rolled to a quarter-inch thickness before being cut into shapes with cookie cutters and arranged on a lined baking sheet. Baking at 350°F until the edges are golden, typically 10 to 12 minutes, produces treats with a firm texture safe for dogs to chew.
The ingredients provide natural sweetness and binding without added refined sugars, and both peanut butter and bananas contribute flavor and nutrients appreciated in dog snacks. Adjusting the amount of oats helps control dough firmness for different shapes. Cooling treats thoroughly before serving ensures they hold their shape well.
Baking time varies with the size and thickness of treats and should be monitored to prevent burning. These treats can be customized in shape depending on the cookie cutters used, making them suitable for various occasions or training rewards.
Ingredients
- 3 cups old fashioned oats or more, as needed
- 2 banana mashed, ripe
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, bananas, peanut butter and coconut oil. Add an additional 2 tablespoons oats at a time just until the dough is no longer sticky.
- Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using cookie cutters, cut out desired shapes and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Place into oven and bake until the edges are golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.*
- Let cool completely.
Notes
- Baking time depends on treat size and thickness; watch closely to avoid overbaking.
- Serving size varies by shape and cutter used; adjust quantity accordingly.
