Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana
- ½ cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened and xylitol-free)
- 1½ cups rolled oats
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add peanut butter, applesauce, and egg, and stir until well combined.
- Add the oats: Gradually mix in the rolled oats to form a soft dough.
- Shape the sticks: Scoop out small portions and roll into stick shapes about ½-inch thick and 4 inches long. Place the sticks on the prepared baking sheet and press them slightly to flatten.
- Bake: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until firm and lightly golden.
- Cool and store: Let cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Always use peanut butter without added sugar or xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- Best for medium to large dogs due to chewiness.
- You can process oats for a smoother texture if desired.
