In years past, biscuits for our rainbow-dog Elvis were a staple of our Advent Calendars. This year, we changed up our recipe to make a fabulous treat for our bernedoodle, Nimue. With Oats, Bananas, & Peanut Butter, you’ll make a sticky dough that bakes up into a wonderful little reward. [Yes, you WILL need to press this dough between two sheets of parchment or waxed paper!] Grab a firm cookie cutter and get to work!
Dog Stars: 3-Ingredient Doggie Biscuits
Servings: 30
Ingredients
- 2½ cups rolled oats
- 2 overripe bananas
- ½ cup peanut butter [just peanuts, no sugar or sugar-substitutes]
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325℉.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment.
- In the bowl of a food processor, grind ½ cup of the oats into a flour.
- Remove these oats from the bowl and set aside in a medium-to-large mixing bowl.
- In the bowl of the food processor, grind the remaining 2 cups of oats into a flour.
- Add the bananas and the peanut butter and run the processor on high until the ingredients are completely pulverized into a sticky paste or dough.
- Use a spoon or spatula to transfer the cookie dough into the mixing bowl of reserved oats.
- Stir to combine. Mixture will still be fairly sticky.
- Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment or waxed paper to ¼-inch thickness.
- Use a sharp, firm cookie cutter to cut the biscuits into cute little shapes. Obviously, we used stars, here. Place cut-outs onto the parchment lined pan.
- Roll all remaining scraps into a ball and re-roll the dough between the parchment, cutting biscuits as needed until you've used all of the dough.
- Bake biscuits one sheet at a time on the centre rack of the oven, for 20-25 minutes or until the edges just begin to look golden brown. You'll want to check for browning at the 18 minute mark and every 1-2 minutes thereafter.
- Allow the biscuits to cool in their pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Then remove the pan but not the parchment and cool on the wire rack until the biscuits are completely set.
- Enjoy!
