Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup quick oats
- 1/2 cup mashed bananas (about 1 small banana)
- 5 ripe strawberries, finely diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the dog treats.
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the egg, peanut butter, whole wheat flour, quick oats, mashed bananas, and diced strawberries. Knead the mixture until a firm dough ball forms. If the dough feels too sticky, gradually add a bit more flour until manageable.
- Roll out the dough: Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough to about one inch thickness, ensuring even thickness for consistent baking.
- Cut into shapes: Use cookie cutters or treat molds to cut the dough into fun shapes tailored for your dog.
- Bake the treats: Arrange the cut dough pieces on a baking pan, leaving space between each. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until firm and cooked through.
- Cool completely: Remove the treats from the oven and allow them to cool thoroughly on a wire rack before offering them to your dog to prevent burns or breakage.
Notes
- Ensure peanut butter used does not contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- Store treats in an airtight container for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
- You can substitute whole wheat flour with oat flour for a gluten-free option.
- Adjust baking time if treats are thicker or thinner than one inch.
- Always introduce new treats gradually to monitor for any adverse reactions in your dog.
