Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour (or oat flour) and cinnamon (if using).1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the unsweetened applesauce, xylitol-free peanut butter, and egg. Whisk until well combined and creamy.1 ripe banana, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 cup natural peanut butter, 1 egg
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir with a spoon or spatula until a thick dough forms. The dough should be firm enough to handle.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and your hands. Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use your favorite cookie cutters or a knife to cut out shapes. Alternatively, you can roll small portions into balls and flatten them for simpler treats.
- Place the shaped treats onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between each one. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the treats are firm to the touch.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the treats cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Ensure they are fully cooled before serving to your dog.
Notes
Ensure peanut butter is xylitol-free. Consult a veterinarian for specific dietary advice.
