Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings: 24

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe banana mashed
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter no xylitol
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Fork or potato masher
  • 1 Measuring cups
  • 1 Measuring spoons
  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 Cookie cutters (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
  3. Add the natural peanut butter and egg to the mashed banana, mixing until well combined.
  4. Gradually incorporate the whole wheat flour and rolled oats into the mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
  5. If the dough is too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
  6. For a chewy texture, roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness; for crunchier cookies, roll it thinner.
  7. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes or simply slice the dough into squares.
  8. Place the cut cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and firm.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving them to your dog.

Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. Remember, these are treats, not a complete diet, and should be given in moderation.
Variations:
- Add 1/4 cup of shredded carrots for extra nutrition.
- Substitute half of the flour with oat flour for a different texture.
- Mix in some unsweetened applesauce for added moisture and sweetness.
