Vegan Peanut Butter & Oat Cookies – The Ultimate Nutty Treat for Your Dog!
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats – High in fiber and easy on digestion. Oats make a gentle base for sensitive doggy stomachs.
- 1 /2 cup natural peanut butter – Dogs live for peanut butter! It’s packed with protein and healthy fats, just make sure it’s xylitol-free (that stuff is toxic for dogs).
- 1 /2 banana, mashed – Bananas add natural sweetness, potassium, and a little binding power to the cookies.
Instructions
- Preheat the OvenSet your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (Or skip the paper and use a light spray of oil if that’s your jam.)
- Mash the BananaGrab a small bowl, throw in that half-banana, and mash it until smooth. You want it to be almost paste-like.
- Combine IngredientsIn a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, mashed banana, and peanut butter. Mix until everything comes together into a thick, sticky dough. If it feels a little dry, add a splash of water—no biggie.
- Shape the CookiesScoop up a spoonful of dough, roll it into a small ball, and flatten it on the baking sheet to make a cookie shape. Leave a little space between them, but don’t stress—they won’t spread much.
- BakeBake for 15-20 minutes or until they’re golden brown and firm. Want a crunchier texture? Let them sit in the oven with the heat off for a few extra minutes to dry out.
- Cool & ServeAllow the cookies to cool completely before giving your pup a taste. Trust me; they’ll be sitting nearby, eyes wide, drooling like they’ve never eaten a day in their life.
