Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana and peanut butter until smooth.
Stir in the oats. Add the egg if using, then mix well.
Gradually add flour until a soft, moldable dough forms.
Roll the dough into logs or stick shapes, about 4–5 inches long.
Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the sticks are golden and firm.
Let them cool completely before serving to your dog.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
Always check with your vet before introducing new treats to your dog’s diet.
Make sure your peanut butter does not contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
