Why I Started Making Banana Peanut Butter Dog Treats (No Oats)

It started on a day when my pup Daisy had an off stomach and I was out of her usual snacks. I didn’t want to give her anything store-bought full of fillers, and I knew oats had been bothering her recently. So I grabbed what I had—just a ripe banana and a jar of xylitol-free peanut butter—and decided to make something gentle, simple, and homemade.


What came out of that moment was more than just a treat—it became our go-to. These soft, chewy Banana Peanut Butter Dog Treats (No Oats) became the thing she’d come running for the moment I opened the fridge. And best of all? They took just minutes to make and freeze.

Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe is grain-free, oat-free, and just 3 ingredients:

  • 1 ripe banana – mashed smooth

  • ¼ cup natural peanut butter – unsweetened and xylitol-free

  • ½ cup coconut flour – binds the dough without using oats

✅ Always check your peanut butter label to make sure it’s free from xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.

Optional:

  • A dash of cinnamon (for aroma)

  • A splash of water or bone broth (if dough is too dry)



Step-by-Step Instructions

You can make these as no-bake frozen bites or bake them for a firmer texture. Here’s how:

❄️ No-Bake (Frozen Chews)

  1. Mash the banana in a bowl until smooth.

  2. Stir in peanut butter and mix until fully combined.

  3. Add coconut flour slowly and mix until a soft dough forms.

  4. Roll into bite-sized balls or press into silicone molds.

  5. Freeze for 1–2 hours until firm. Store in freezer.

🔥 Baked Version

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Follow steps 1–3 above.

  3. Roll into small balls or flatten slightly on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

  4. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.

  5. Let cool completely before serving.

  6.  Let cool completely before serving to your pup.


Nutritional Benefits

These treats are more than just tasty—they’re nourishing and gentle:

  • Banana : High in potassium, vitamin C, and fiber

  • Peanut Butter : Packed with protein and healthy fats

  • Coconut Flour : Grain-free, low-carb, and high in fiber

They’re perfect for pups with sensitive tummies or those on a grain-free diet.




Customizing the Recipe

Make it your own:

  • Swap coconut flour for almond flour (for a nuttier texture)

  • Add a spoon of plain Greek yogurt to boost gut health ( Homemade Dog Treats with Greek Yogurt )

  • Freeze in fun paw- or bone-shaped molds for a cute touch

  • Stir in finely chopped blueberries or shredded carrots for extra nutrients

Bonding with My Dog During Prep

There’s something special about making something by hand—knowing every ingredient, every scoop is for her. Daisy always sits by the counter, head tilted, tail sweeping the floor. It turns our kitchen into a moment of connection.
No screens. No noise. Just her and me. And a bowl of banana and peanut butter.



Storing and Serving Tips

  • Frozen version : Store in an airtight container in freezer for up to 2 months

  • Baked version : Store in fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months

  • Let frozen treats thaw slightly before serving to small dogs or seniors



Common Issues & Fixes

  • Dough too dry?
    → Add a splash of water, bone broth, or more mashed banana.

  • Dough too sticky?
    → Add a bit more coconut flour, one spoon at a time.

  • Treats too hard from freezer?
    → Let thaw at room temp for 5 minutes before serving.
