Categories     Cookies     Bake     Banana     Bacon

Yield 25 treats

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 banana
1 large egg
1/3 cup natural peanut butter
1 tablespoon plus one teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon flax seeds
1/4 cup crisp cooked bacon, finely chopped (from about 3 strips; optional)
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add the egg and peanut butter and stir until well combined. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the honey, along with the flax seeds, bacon, and oats. Add the flour and stir until evenly combined (the dough will be very thick). Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. 2. Remove dough from the refrigerator and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. 3. Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and a second rack in the lower third then preheat the to 350°F. 4. On a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough to 1/3 inch thickness. Using a cookie cutter, cut out as many biscuits as possible and transfer to the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1/2 inch between treats. 5. Gather any scraps and kneed them until combined. Reroll the dough and cut out more treats. Repeat until you run out of dough. 6. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1 teaspoon of honey with 1 tablespoon of water until the honey is dissolved. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops of the treats with the honey mixture. 7. Bake the treats, switching them between the upper and lower racks about halfway through baking, until they are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.

BANANA AND PEANUT BUTTER DOG TREATS

My dog just loves these. When I have some bananas left, I can divide them in half and freeze them. I only make a half batch at once since he is small, but if your dog is bigger or if you like to give many treats to your pet, make a whole batch. You could even freeze some after making them if properly stored in a freezer bag or container.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 - egg
1/3 cup(s) peanut butter, smooth, lower sugar or natural is better
1/2 cup(s) mashed banana (about 1 banana)
1 tablespoon(s) honey
1 cup(s) whole wheat flour
1/2 cup(s) wheat germ
1 - egg white, lightly beaten for brushing

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 300° F. Lightly spray a baking sheet.
  • 2. Stir together the egg, peanut butter, banana, and honey in a medium bowl to blend thoroughly. Slowly stir in the flour and wheat germ; mix well. Place a piece of wax paper onto board or counter top and flour. Turn dough out onto the floured paper and place another sprinkle of flour and top with another piece of wax paper. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thick and remove top layer of wax paper. Cut into desired shapes with a cookie cutter, place on prepared baking sheet, and brush tops with egg white if desired.
  • 3. Bake biscuits in preheated oven until dried and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes, depending on size. I would closely watch these after 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
  • 4. No wheat germ??? Try using quick oats instead. Roughly grind it in a food grinder or coffee grinder for the right consistency, or you can use as is. Works just the same.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture in your dog treats. Overripe bananas are ideal.
  • If you don't have peanut butter, you can substitute another dog-safe nut butter, such as almond butter or cashew butter.
  • You can also add other ingredients to your dog treats, such as oats, chopped bacon, or grated cheese. Be sure to choose ingredients that are safe for dogs.
  • If you're baking your dog treats, be sure to let them cool completely before giving them to your dog. Warm treats can be dangerous for dogs.
  • Store your dog treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Conclusion:

These banana and peanut butter dog treats are a delicious and healthy snack for your furry friend. They're easy to make and only require a few simple ingredients. Plus, they're a great way to use up overripe bananas.

So next time you're looking for a special treat for your dog, give these banana and peanut butter dog treats a try. Your dog will love them!
