Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free only!)
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 egg (optional, for extra binding)
  • Splash of water or applesauce (if needed)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats or oat flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature by the time your dough is ready.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mash the ripe banana. Add the natural peanut butter and stir until combined well to form a creamy mixture.
  3. Add Blueberries and Egg: Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries to the mixture, then crack in the egg if using, which helps bind the dough for a firmer texture.
  4. Incorporate Oats: Gradually stir in the rolled oats or oat flour until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a splash of water or applesauce to reach the right consistency.
  5. Shape Treats: Lightly flour your surface with oats or oat flour and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut into fun shapes suitable for your dog’s size.
  6. Bake Treats: Place the shaped dough pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they have some space to expand. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the edges turn golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the treats to cool completely on a wire rack before giving them to your dog to prevent burns and to let them firm up perfectly.

Notes

  • Always use xylitol-free peanut butter, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
  • Blueberries can be fresh or frozen; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess water before adding.
  • Using the egg is optional but helps bind the dough for better shape retention.
  • You can substitute rolled oats with oat flour for a smoother texture.
  • Store treats in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
  • Consult your vet if your dog has specific dietary restrictions before introducing new treats.
