Why I Started Making Banana Oat Peanut Butter Dog Treats

Millie, my rescue Labrador with a heart of gold and a never-ending love for treats. I used to buy store-bought biscuits until I read the ingredient list one day—yikes. So I decided to make something from scratch using just pantry ingredients I trust.

Millie wagged her approval after the first bite, and now these are a weekly tradition.


Ingredients You’ll Need

These simple ingredients come together fast:


  • 1 ripe banana (mashed)

  • 1 cup rolled oats

  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free!)

  • 1 egg (to bind everything)

  • Add water to make texture more fluid


Optional:

  • 1 tbsp unsweetened applesauce

  • A sprinkle of cinnamon (for dogs without sensitivity)


Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Mash banana in a bowl.

  3. Stir in oats, peanut butter, and egg until well combined.

  4. Scoop spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and flatten with a fork.

  5. Bake for 12–15 minutes until lightly golden.

  6. Let cool completely before serving.
