Are you looking for a healthy and delicious treat for your furry friend? Look no further than these peanut butter banana dog treats! Made with simple, wholesome ingredients, these treats are sure to please even the pickiest of pups.
In this episode, we make our own healthy doggo treats. While the time and effort required to do this can seem like another chore, it takes out any question(s) about what is inside of the food that your pup is ingesting. I find myself constantly looking at the ingredients of what might be inside of a particular brand of dog treats – or even where they are from (I only purchase treats from brands that are Made in USA). While this may be effective, I tend to see how sometimes it might even be unhealthy due to over consumption. I consider those treats to be like McDonalds for humans.
So let’s get started, you will want to prepare all of the ingredients below verify carefully and meticulously.

| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Ripe banana | 1 |
| Creamy peanut butter | 1/4 cup |
| Egg | 1 |
| Oat flour | 1 – 1/2 cups |
| Baking powder | 1 tsp |
| Water | 1/4 cup |
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.
- Add the creamy peanut butter and egg to the bowl and mix until well combined.
- Add the oat flour and baking powder to the bowl and stir until a dough forms.
- Gradually add in water, mixing well until the dough is easy to handle and not too sticky.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it’s about 1/4-inch thick.
- Use cookie cutters to cut the dough into desired shapes.

This was an awesome project to bake, it didn’t take too much time and now I have a nice batch of treats to occasionally give to Luffy, which he very much enjoyed! Make sure to store them in a cool place and don’t hold on to these for too long so they stay nice and fresh.
