Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats
All you need is 4 ingredients for these hypoallergenic treats! And the coconut oil makes these so HEALTHY for your pup!
I have been obsessed with coconut oil lately. I know, I’m a little late to the coconut oil trend but better late than never, right?
I use it in all of my cooking, but more importantly, it’s a godsend for these two nuggets.
I have found that coconut oil has been shown to elevate metabolism, provide a higher level of energy and vitality, protect from illness, and speed healing. As a bonus, coconut oil can also improve your dog’s skin and coat, improve digestion, and reduce allergic reactions.
See, I told you. It really is a godsend.
And they make amazing 4-ingredient hypoallergenic treats for your pup, letting you use up those lingering ripe bananas just sitting on your counter.
See, Ollie knows what’s up. He’s even got his puppy eyes down to a science.
Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats
Ingredients
- 3 cups old fashioned oats, or more, as needed
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, bananas, peanut butter and coconut oil. Add an additional 2 tablespoons oats at a time just until the dough is no longer sticky.
- Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using cookie cutters, cut out desired shapes and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Place into oven and bake until the edges are golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.*
- Let cool completely.

My picky Yorkiepoo and Chihuahua absolutely loves these treats. They were in the kitchen watching me the whole time wanting me to give them some before they were even cooked I even like them even though my boyfriend says they need some sugar LOL I like that they’re healthy for everyone 🙂
Dogs love them ! How many calories per batch does this have ? Ty

I decided to try making these yesterday…. the result: My dog absolutely loves them!! And they are extremely healthy and so easy to make!! I will be using this recipe again.
How long do these treats usually last if you store them in a jar. I had some of mine go fuzzy rather quickly so I just wanted to know how long they’re good for to stay out or if they need to be refrigerated.
A few days at least but as I am not an expert on food safety, I cannot really say with certainty. Methods for optimal food storage and shelf life should be based on good judgment and what you are personally comfortable with.
I just made these with organic peanut butter
I use Snickers Organic peanut butter. Only ingredient is peanuts.
My dog and friend’s dogs love these. I have made them a few times. They are easy to make. I don’t have any trouble getting them to stick together, roll out the dough, and use cookie cutters. My little pup needs to be on a low sodium diet, so I use organic, no salt added peanut butter. I have done just rolled oats, or oats and oat flour. I break up the oats a little with a whisk. You must knead the dough a few times. I use a small heart shape cutter and a dog bone shape, and both work great.
(To Anna, Steel cut oats will not work for any baking.)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with these!
I made these tonight and my poochie loves them!
Our beagle loved them! I used PBfit instead, because with him being so food driven we needed to keep it a bit more “weight friendly”.
What is tbe texture of these dog treats? Do they bake up crispy or soft?
It’s soft.
Hi, my dog has food allergies, and my vet approved this recipe – suggesting switching out the peanut butter for almond butter. I made the cookies last night and they were a HUGE hit with my dog! I had a few myself! Unlike some of the other posters, my batter was too wet, not too dry. I had to keep adding oats. I will play around with proportions for the next batch, but am thankful to have found this recipe!!
Will today I tried this recipe and my two dogs love love them
Can u use extra virgin olive oil? Dog doesn’t like coconut. Thx
Yes, absolutely.
Can you use liquid coconut oil to make this dog treat recipe.
Unfortunately, without further recipe testing, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
Can I use steel cut oats instead?

Love these easy to make and my dogs love them ,just made 2 recepies .
I just took fast cooking oatmeal it worked out great .thanks for the recipie
I made these- sorta. Adjusted the ingredient ratios slightly as I added ground flax and parsley. I also cheated and threw it all in the food processor so there were no oat “chunks”. I used assorted cookie cutters to make fun shapes. Took closer to 15 minutes to bake.
How many does this recipe yield?
Sandy, the yield can vary as it depends on the size of the cookie cutters that you use.
Just made this and it is a HUGE hit with all 4 of my guys! I was concerned about the consistency problems others had mentioned so I used 1/2 oats and 1/2 oat flour and they turned out perfectly! I mixed it all together in the food processor and they were easy to roll out and the cookie cutter was no problem! This will definitely be a go to recipe from now on!
How long is the “shelf” life after you make them? I know they will probably go really fast, but just curious. Thanks.
