Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe banana mashed
  • 1/2 cup plain peanut butter no xylitol
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup oats
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Measuring cups
  • 1 Measuring spoons
  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Cookie cutters

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana and peanut butter, mixing until smooth.
  3. Add the yogurt, egg, and olive oil to the banana-peanut butter mixture, stirring until well blended.
  4. Gradually add the whole wheat flour and oats to the mixture, mixing until a dough forms. If you're using cinnamon, add it now.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it to about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the treats are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  8. Remove the treats from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerate for up to two weeks. Always serve these treats in moderation, as they are not a complete diet. Consult your veterinarian if your dog has any health issues or dietary restrictions.
Variations:
- Substitute almond butter for peanut butter for a different flavor.
- Add pureed pumpkin instead of some banana for a seasonal twist.
- Incorporate finely chopped carrots or apples for added texture and flavor.
