Peanut Butter and Banana Dog Biscuits
Ever watched your pup drooling over a treat and thought, "Hey, I could make that!" Well, you're absolutely right.
Let's roll up our sleeves and whip up some Peanut Butter and Banana Dog Biscuits.
Dogs love 'em, and who doesn't want to be their labrador's favorite chef?
What You'll Need:
- 1 ripe banana: The sweeter, the better! Your furry friend will thank you.
- 2 cups of oats: These are going to be ground up to make your flour, so no need for the store-bought stuff!
- 1/3 cup of natural peanut butter: The kind without added sugar or xylitol, please—safety first!
Simple Steps:
- Oven Ready: Get your oven pre-heating to a cozy 350°F (that's about 175°C for my friends across the pond).
- Bowl Time: Grab a large bowl, and mash that banana until it’s nice and creamy.
- Oat Flour Magic: Take your oats and throw them in your blender. Blitz until you get that fine flour look.
- Combine Forces: Dump your oat flour and peanut butter into the bowl with your mashed banana. Mix until you have a uniform dough.
- Roll It Out: Flour your surface and roll the dough about 1/4 inch thick.
- Shape Time: Get creative here! Cut out shapes with a cookie cutter or a knife. Bones, hearts, maybe even a squirrel silhouette to drive your pup nuts?
Baking and Storage:
Bake your biscuit shapes for about 15 to 20 minutes.
You're shooting for a nice golden-brown—think sun-kissed, not sunburned.
After they're cool, store them in an airtight container to keep 'em crisp.
They’ll be good for about a week, if your four-legged taste tester doesn’t find them first!
Rolling, cutting, baking—super simple, right?
Your lab will be the happiest hound on the block with these homemade munchies.
Happy baking! 🐾
Pumpkin and Peanut Butter Treats
Ever wondered what could be the paw-fect treat for your Labrador?
How about combining two doggie favorites: pumpkin and peanut butter?
Let's talk about whipping up some Pumpkin and Peanut Butter Treats that your furry friend will wolf down with tail-wagging enthusiasm!
Ingredients you'll need:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (natural, no additives)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (unsalted and xylitol-free)

First up, preheat that oven of yours to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
It’s going to get hot in the kitchen!

Crack in those eggs and stir them into the pumpkin-peanut mix until everything looks friendly with each other.
Now, fold in the whole-wheat flour gradually.
Your mix will transform into a dough that’s ready for action!
Roll out the dough and get creative—cookie cutters aren't just for kids, you know.
Bone shapes are classic, but who says you can't do stars, hearts, or even little Labradors?
Place your creations on a parchment-lined baking sheet, slide them into the oven, and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
What you’re looking for is a golden-brown edge that tells you it’s time to pull them out.
Quick tip: If your dough is a bit stiff, don't hesitate to add a splash of water.
It helps in getting everything to stick together, like a friendly hug for your ingredients.
Cool these goodies down before inviting your Lab to a 'taste-test'—because we both know they’ll pass with flying colors!
And hey, they’re not just delicious; they’re also packed with fiber and good fats.

Chicken and rice are classic comfort foods for us, and guess what?
Your four-legged pal is likely to love them too.
