Why I Started Making Peanut Butter Oatmeal Banana Dog Treats

My rescue pup, Aurora, has always had a sensitive tummy and an even more sensitive heart. After trying one too many store-bought options that left her itchy or gassy, I looked into simple, clean ingredients I already had at home. That’s how this recipe—built around banana, oats, and peanut butter—came to life.

These treats are now our weekend staple. I even started exploring other options like:


Ingredients You’ll Need


  • 1 ripe banana (mashed)

  • 1 cup rolled oats (whole or ground into flour)

  • 1/4 cup xylitol-free peanut butter

  • 1 egg

  • Optional:




Step-by-Step Instructions


  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Mash the banana in a large mixing bowl.

  3. Stir in the peanut butter and egg.

  4. Mix in the oats until the dough forms.

  5. Roll or press into your preferred shapes.

  6. Bake for 15–18 minutes.

  7. Cool completely before giving to your dog.

  • Swap the egg for flaxseed meal or applesauce

  • Use almond flour for a grain-free version


Bonding with My Dog During Prep

Aurora waits patiently while I mix the dough, paws tapping the floor. I swear she knows when it’s “baking day.” She licks the spoon (after I’m done!) and watches the oven like it’s a squirrel.

We also enjoy testing new treats from this list:

Storing and Serving Tips

  • Store in an airtight container for 5–7 days

  • Freeze leftovers for up to 2 months

  • Let frozen treats thaw slightly before serving
