Can you eat them too? Sure. But, they’re more than a little bit on the bland side.
Our dog is a spoiled little monster. She’s not a fan of any dog food. Left to her own devices, she’d choose to starve to death rather than eat actual dog food. Since we sort of love our evil little gremlin (and she seems knows this and use it against us), she requires a daily bribe to eat her puppy nuggets. One treat before each meal seems to be enough to get her stomach rumbling.
(She’s an active runner and quite a muscular little gremlin. So, we don’t have to worry about her daily intake of extra calories.)
Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats
makes about 22 small treats
1 banana, over ripe
4 Tablespoons peanut butter
1/2 cup AP flour
1 cup rolled oats
additional oats for rolling, if desired
Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl. If desired, roll in additional oats to make flattening treats easier. Roll dough into balls. Place on parchment and flatten with your fingers. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Let cool in hot oven. After 40 minutes, they are crispy on the outside with a moist center. For hard, crispy cookies, leave them in the oven overnight. Then, place in airtight tin.
Portia Approved!
She’s devouring them on a daily basis.
What perks up those ears? “Treat!”
