Ingredients
– 1 cup natural peanut butter (only peanuts as the ingredient, no added oils, sugars, salt, or xylitol) for rich flavor and binding the dough
– 2 to 3 ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture
– 3 cups oats (plain whole, 1-minute, or instant, no added sugars) for structure and chew when baked
– Whole wheat flour, extra ground oats, or dog-safe flour (as needed for lightly floured surface) for preventing sticking while rolling the dough
– 1 to 2 teaspoons water (as needed to adjust dough consistency) for adjusting dough consistency if crumbly or dry
Instructions
1-First Step: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2-Second Step: Grind oats in a food processor to a fine powder. Finer oat flour helps the dough roll smoothly and bake evenly.
3-Third Step: Add bananas and peanut butter to the oat flour, then mix until you get a sticky dough. Mash the bananas first if they are not soft enough.
4-Fourth Step: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use whole wheat flour, extra ground oats, or dog-safe flour as needed so it does not stick.
5-Fifth Step: Cut into shapes or squares using cookie cutters.
6-Final Step: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until treats are slightly puffed, dry, and dark golden brown on the bottom. Cool completely before serving. Treats firm up as they cool, so resist the urge to hand them over while warm.
