Oatmeal Banana Dog Cookies

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 20 Makes about 20 small cookies

Ingredients
  

  • Rolled oats old-fashioned, not quick oats
  • Ripe bananas overripe preferred
  • Egg
  • Peanut butter unsweetened and xylitol-free
  • Cinnamon optional
  • Water if needed for dough texture

Method
 

  1. Prepare the oats by adding rolled oats to a mixing bowl; optionally pulse in a blender to slightly break them down for better binding.
  2. Mash the bananas in a separate bowl until mostly smooth, allowing small lumps.
  3. Combine wet ingredients by adding mashed bananas, egg, and peanut butter to the oat mixture; stir into a thick, sticky dough, adding cinnamon if using.
  4. Adjust dough texture by checking with hands; add water one tablespoon at a time if crumbly, or sprinkle in more oats if too sticky.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper; shape dough into small, flattened cookies of consistent size.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until edges are set and lightly golden, centers soft; let cool completely before serving.
