Why I Started Making These Treats
If you’ve ever looked into your dog’s eyes while they’re watching you eat, you know that guilty feeling — you want to give them something special, but store-bought treats often contain fillers, added sugar, or questionable ingredients.
That’s why I started making these no-bake peanut butter and banana dog treats at home. They’re quick (only 10 minutes!), use wholesome ingredients, and most importantly — they make my dog’s tail wag like crazy.
Plus, because they’re no-bake, they keep more of the natural nutrients in the banana and peanut butter intact.
