Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (xylitol-free)
- 1 cup oats, finely ground
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- In a food processor or blender, grind the oats into a fine powder.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.
- Add peanut butter and honey (if using) to the banana, stirring until fully combined.
- Gradually mix in the ground oats until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency.
- Roll the dough into bite-sized balls or press into silicone molds.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm, or freeze for 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Make sure to use peanut butter that is xylitol-free, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
- You can customize this recipe by adding pumpkin puree, coconut oil, or ground flaxseed for extra nutrition.
- These chews can be baked at 350°F for 10-12 minutes if you prefer a crunchier texture.
- If your dog has grain sensitivities, substitute the oats with coconut flour or rice flour.
