Ingredients:

2 ripe bananas
1 cup of rolled oats
1/2 cup of peanut butter (make sure it doesn’t contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs)
1/4 cup of whole wheat flour (optional, for a firmer texture)

Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Mash Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until they are smooth and creamy.
Add Peanut Butter: Add the peanut butter to the mashed bananas and mix well until thoroughly combined.
Mix in Oats: Gradually add the rolled oats to the banana-peanut butter mixture. If the mixture is too wet, add the optional whole wheat flour a little at a time until you reach a workable dough consistency.
Form Treats: Use a spoon or your hands to scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. You can also flatten them slightly to make small cookie shapes if you prefer.
Bake: Place the balls or cookies onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are firm and slightly golden brown.
Cool: Remove the treats from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Store: Once cooled, store the treats in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for a few days, but for longer storage, refrigerate them.

Tips:

Freezing Option: For a refreshing treat, you can also freeze the balls instead of baking them. They make a great cool snack for your dog on hot days.

Portion Size: Adjust the size of the treats according to your dog’s size and dietary needs. Smaller dogs may need smaller treats.
