- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) peanut butter
Grains and Fiber:
- 1/2 cup (60 g) rolled oats
Optional Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 g) mashed banana
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Blend yogurt, egg, peanut butter, and mashed banana in a mixing bowl until smooth and thoroughly integrated.
- Incorporate rolled oats into the mixture, ensuring even distribution for consistent texture.
- Drop small rounded portions onto the prepared baking sheet, gently pressing each with a spoon to create uniform shapes.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, watching for delicate golden edges as a sign of doneness.
- Extract the treats from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet, which helps them firm up and become crisp.

Notes
- Customize the treats by choosing low-fat or Greek yogurt for a healthier option that reduces overall calorie content.
- Substitute peanut butter with unsweetened almond butter for dogs with peanut allergies or sensitivity.
- Mash ripe bananas thoroughly to ensure smooth texture and even distribution throughout the treat mixture.
- Store homemade dog treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
