Treat your dog to these irresistible Banana and Peanut Butter Chew Sticks! These soft, chewy treats are packed with flavor and nutrients, making them a perfect snack for your pup to enjoy during playtime or as a special reward.
Ingredients:
1 ripe banana
½ cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)
1 cup oat flour (or whole wheat flour)
1 egg
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
2-3 tablespoons water (as needed)
Instructions:
Mash the Banana – In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.
Mix the Wet Ingredients – Add the peanut butter, egg, and honey (if using) to the mashed banana. Stir well to combine.
Add the Flour – Gradually mix in the oat flour until a dough forms. If the dough is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches a workable consistency.
Shape the Chew Sticks – Roll the dough into small logs or "chew sticks" about 3 inches long.
Bake – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the chew sticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and firm.
Cool and Serve – Allow the chew sticks to cool completely before serving them to your pup.
Storage Tips:
Store the chew sticks in an airtight container for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to a month.
