As many of you may know, I am a mommy. Yep, a doggie mommy to this fluffy little one named Zuzu. Currently I am only a mommy to this one little "furling" as I like to call her... so every once in a while I feel the need to go all out and spoil her rotten! Well tonight I decided to do just that... by making homemade peanut butter banana dog treats :)
I found the cutest little animal cookie cutters in the mall last weekend, and the idea was sparked. They were so adorable I had to buy them, and I knew they would come to good use.
So tonight I finally hunkered down and made my furry baby some AWESOME doggie treats! Somehow she even knew while I was making them for her. Normally she steers clear of the kitchen, but tonight she was underfoot the entire time. And after seeing how these turned out I can see why!
Peanut Butter Banana Doggie Treats
Ingredients:
1 egg
1 banana, mashed
1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
1 tbsp honey
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup old fashioned oats
Directions:
Preheat oven to 300°. In a large mixing bowl, beat together egg,
banana, peanut butter, and honey. Once
well combined, slowly beat in flour adding small amounts at a time; beat until
completely incorporated. Fold in the
oats until well combined. On a well
floured surface, roll dough out until it measures about 1/4” thick; cut out
cookie shapes using cookie cutters. Before
baking, use a fork to make small holes in each treat. Bake in oven on a greased cookie sheet for 20
– 30 minutes or until treats are hardened (depends on size of treats). Let cool completely before letting the furry
ones enjoy! Store in a tightly sealed
container in the refrigerator. These can
also be stored in the freezer and thawed when ready to be enjoyed!
Makes about 3 dozen (depending on size).
