Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana – mashed
- 1 egg
- 1 cup oat flour (or finely blended oats)
- 1 tbsp unsweetened peanut butter (xylitol-free)
- Optional: 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Mash the banana: In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth to create the base for the dough.
- Add egg and peanut butter: Mix in the egg and peanut butter until the mixture is creamy and well combined, adding protein and binding the dough.
- Incorporate dry ingredients: Stir in the oat flour and optional cinnamon until a soft, non-sticky dough forms.
- Roll out dough: Place the dough between two parchment paper sheets and roll it out to about ¼ inch thickness to ensure even cooking.
- Cut shapes: Use cookie cutters or slice the dough into squares to create bite-sized treats.
- Prepare air fryer basket: Line the basket with parchment paper and arrange the treats without overcrowding for optimal air circulation.
- Air fry: Cook at 320°F (160°C) for 8–10 minutes until the treats are golden brown and firm.
- Cool completely: Allow the treats to cool fully before giving them to your dog to ensure safety and best texture.
Notes
- Make sure the peanut butter contains no xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- You can blend regular oats to make oat flour if you don’t have it on hand.
- Omit cinnamon if your vet advises against it based on your dog’s health.
- Store treats in an airtight container for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
- Always introduce new treats gradually and monitor your dog for any allergies or sensitivities.
