Peanut Butter, Banana Dog Treats

I can’t believe this is the first dog treat or dog food recipe I have shared with you as I have been cooking for our fur babies for a number of years now. This is a healthy and very easy treat for your favorite dog. Zelda is just a little dog so I gave her half a bone for her to taste test. She took one bite and gobbled it right up but then started playing with the other half of it and proceeded to try and hide the treat. That’s a good sign as that’s what she does with her favorite store bought treats. I’d say she enjoyed them!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
• 1 mashed banana (1/2 cup)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and knead until a dough ball forms. If it’s too sticky add more flour. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface. You want the dough to be a bit less than a half of an inch. Cut out with bone shaped cookie cutters or whatever you have. Place the cut out on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes. Mine cooked 18 minutes.

This recipe made 8 cookies using the bone cookie cutter. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Enjoy!?
