Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened, xylitol-free)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until smooth for an even texture in your dough.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the natural peanut butter and coconut oil to the mashed bananas and mix well to ensure all wet ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Add Flour: Gradually stir in the oat flour until a firm, pliable dough forms that can be shaped without sticking excessively.
  5. Shape Dough: Roll the dough into logs to form chew sticks of desired size suitable for your dog.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the formed sticks onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet evenly spaced.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes to achieve softer chew sticks suitable for dogs to enjoy.
  8. Cool Completely: Allow the chew sticks to cool fully before serving to your dog to prevent burns and maintain firmness.

Notes

  • Use only natural peanut butter without xylitol, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more oat flour to achieve the right consistency.
  • Store the chew sticks in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Cut into smaller pieces for training treats or for senior dogs with smaller mouths or teeth issues.
