Peanut Butter Oatmeal Banana Dog Treats
Description
The recipe blends an egg, peanut butter, almond flour, old fashioned oats, and mashed banana into a soft dough. The peanut butter should be all-natural without added salt or sugar to ensure safety for pets. The dough is kneaded until firm enough to roll out, then cut into shapes using cookie cutters or dog treat molds.
Baking at a low temperature of 300 degrees ensures the treats dry out and become firm without burning. The oats add fiber and texture, and the banana contributes natural sweetness and moisture. These homemade treats avoid artificial additives common in commercial dog snacks.
Store the baked treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze them individually for longer storage. Before feeding, thaw any frozen treats to room temperature to preserve texture. Always consult a veterinarian when changing your pet's diet.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup almond flour See notes for alternative flour options
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 banana 1/2 cup, mashed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and knead until a dough ball forms. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Roll it out on a lightly floured surface and cut into shapes with cookie cutters or use these cute dog treat molds!
- Place the cutouts on a baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes.
Notes
- Use all-natural peanut butter without added salt or sugar; avoid light or sugar-free versions containing xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- Alternative flours like barley, buckwheat, millet, chickpea, or coconut can be used instead of almond flour; consult your vet for dietary changes.
- Store homemade treats airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Allow frozen treats to reach room temperature before serving to your dog.
