Why I Started Making Oatmeal Peanut Butter and Banana Dog Treats

Last autumn, my golden retriever Zoro was struggling with a sensitive stomach. I wanted to bake something gentle, filling, and nourishing. After some research, I created these Oatmeal Peanut Butter and Banana Dog Treats. The kitchen smelled like comfort, and Zoro sat by the oven, tail wagging. It’s now a weekly ritual.


We sometimes switch it up with these Pumpkin Puree and Banana Dog Treats or Frozen Pumpkin Puree Dog Treats during warmer days.


Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 ripe banana (mashed)

  • Optional : 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree (100% pumpkin, no spices)

  • 1 cup rolled oats (you can blend for finer texture)

  • 1 egg (for binding)

  • Optional: 1 tbsp xylitol-free peanut butter


Try rotating these with Homemade Pumpkin Applesauce Dog Treats for variety.





Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. In a bowl, mash banana and mix with pumpkin puree.

  3. Stir in oats, egg, and peanut butter.

  4. Mix into a sticky dough.

  5. Shape into small cookies or use silicone molds .

  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes until lightly golden.

  7. Cool before serving.
