  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana and peanut butter until smooth.
  3. Add the egg and olive oil, mixing well until fully incorporated.
  4. Gradually stir in the whole wheat flour and rolled oats until a dough forms.
  5. If the dough is too dry, add water a tablespoon at a time until it reaches a workable consistency.
  6. Lightly flour your countertop and roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thick.
  7. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes or simply cut the dough into squares with a knife.
  8. Place the cut treats on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store these treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For longer storage, freeze the treats for up to three months. Remember, these are occasional snacks, not a complete diet, so feed in moderation and consult your vet regarding your dog’s dietary needs.
Variations:
- Substitute the whole wheat flour with oat flour for a gluten-free option.
- Add a tablespoon of cinnamon for a warm flavor (ensure your dog is not sensitive to it).
- Incorporate 1/4 cup of finely shredded carrots for added nutrients.
