Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats *see note 270g
  • 1 medium banana 100g
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter 80mL
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons flour if necessary
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons water if needed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat, then set aside.
  • Add oats to the bowl of a food processor.
  • Let machine run for 30 - 60 seconds, until oats are almost flour consistency with a few big pieces left.
  • Add peanut butter, banana and egg to food processor.
  • Mix until dough looks uniform. *If dough seems a bit dry, add a tablespoon or two of water and blend until desired consistency.
  • Turn the dough out onto the countertop.
    *If the dough is too sticky to work with - sprinkle the countertop with a tablespoon or two of flour, and work some of the flour from the counter into the dough until it is no longer sticky.
  • Roll the dough out to roughly 1/8" thick, cut treats out with cookie cutter and place on baking sheet.
    Gather scraps, re-roll the dough, and cut out more treats until you've used up all the dough.
  • Bake for 16 - 18 minutes, rotate trays halfway through.
  • Cool completely before giving to your dog.

Notes

  • Measure 3 cups oats, then proceed with grinding oats. (You are not measuring 3 cups of ground oats.)
  • Dogs with dental issues or senior dogs: You can bake treats for 14 - 16 minutes for a softer treat. Make sure treats are baked all the way through before removing tray from oven.
  • To make CRUNCHY dog treats, bake for 25 - 27 minutes. Check them around 22 - 24 minutes to make sure they aren't burning. You can also bake for 22 - 24 minutes, then turn off the oven and leave the door cracked with a wooden spoon and let them dry out and cool down in the oven.
  • I used the smallest cookie cutter in my set (a little under 2"), and the recipe made 90. If you use a larger cutter, you will have fewer treats.
  • The dough will be a little stiff, that's what you want. If the dough is too wet, it will be harder to work with, and the treats won't be crunchy.
