• 1 ripe banana, mashed

• ½ cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened and xylitol-free)

• 1 cup oat flour (or finely ground oats)

• 1 egg

• 1 tablespoon water (optional, if dough is too thick)

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Mash the banana in a bowl until smooth.

3. Add peanut butter and egg, mixing until fully combined.

4. Stir in oat flour gradually until a soft dough forms. Add a little water if needed.

5. Roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.

6. Cut into bone shapes using a cookie cutter or knife.

7. Place treats on the baking tray leaving a small gap between each.

8. Bake for 18–20 minutes until lightly golden.

9. Let the treats cool completely before serving them to your dog.

• Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

• For longer storage, keep them refrigerated for up to 1 week.

• You can also freeze the treats for up to 2 months and thaw a few at a time when needed.

• Small dogs: ½ – 1 treat

• Medium dogs: 1 – 2 treats

• Large dogs: 2 – 3 treats

Treats should always be given in moderation alongside a balanced diet.

There is something special about making homemade treats for a beloved companion. This simple recipe for banana and peanut butter dog treats was created during a quiet afternoon in the kitchen, inspired by the idea that the best treats are made with the same care we use when cooking for family. With just a handful of pantry ingredients, these biscuits come together quickly and bake into warm, golden bites that dogs seem to adore. Homemade treats allow pet owners to know exactly what goes into their dog’s snacks, avoiding unnecessary additives while adding a personal touch. The process is easy, relaxing, and rewarding — especially when a happy tail wag is the final review.
