Dog Treats - Banana Peanut Butter

My first treat post. I have never made my own dog treats before but I like baking so I am excited for the opportunity to bake without eating way too much sugar! I was so excited about making them for my little princess I bought a dog bone cookie cutter on amazon for about $3 for it. Then I did some scrolling on Pinterest and took my previous cooking knowledge with my knowledge of what my dog likes and picked the perfect treat recipe. (Maybe I will experiment more later.) I ended up choosing this easy 4 ingredient recipe by Chungah you can find it here. The dogs love it but it goes down quick.

The Recipe:
2 bananas 
3 cups of oats
1/4 peanut butter
1/4 coconut oil

mix, roll, cut, and bake at 350 degrees until brown
(better directions on the website) 

Step 1: Mix


Step 2: Roll


Step 3: Cut

Step 4: Bake

I made a few mistakes like not making sure I had enough oatmeal for the recipe, rolling the dough to thick and having to bake them twice as long. I had my dad try one (my dad tries everything) and he said they were bland. Overall a success though. Just look at those well behaved dogs waiting for their treats!

I can't wait for my next recipe!

  1. So did the dogs like the treats? My dog is very picky so I wonder if she would eat them...

    1. Sorry I didn't make that clear. My dog and the other three loved them and just gobbled them up way too fast haha. None of these dogs are picky eaters though. If the food hits the ground they eat it. :)

  2. This is so fun! I hadn't seen anyone who baked for their dog. I suddenly feel sorry for my cat. She is on a diet by force. Y.Y

  4. So fun!!! Whose dogs did you bake for? I love that your dad tried one haha. Terry would so do that, but my dad would never. Did your dog like the treat? Has she eaten the leftovers?

  5. My brother dared me to eat a whole milk bone when we were kids. I agree with your dad they're pretty bland. My Spartacus loves peanut butter so I think I will have to try these.

  6. I have been thinking a lot about what is meaningful homework. There seems to be much discussion about dropping typical homework worksheet assignments as most research shows it makes no difference. Maintaining a blog like this where students are documenting a process could be meaningful homework. Jacquelyn is thinking and writing about a her passion. That would have been a great homework success for me when I was teaching.
