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.

(It appears as I was leaving my review the website timed out. Hoping this is not a duplicate, here goes.) Made a half batch for Wallie. He loved them! Melted the coconut oil in the microwave (~30 seconds). Stirred in the peanut butter and mashed banana. I processed the oats in the Ninja and added to wet ingredients. As suggested, I added more processed oats when rolling out the dough (~2T). Wishing I could share photos and the “Too Late” Video of Wallie enjoying his special treat. “Too Late” because he couldn’t wait for me to get my phone. Thank you for sharing this recipe! ❤️
What is the kind of coconut oil used?
Looking for a treat recipe to use bananas and peanut butter. Preferably with oats instead of flour, the coconut oil was a plus. This one was exactly what I wanted. Then I saw the taste testers!! Corgis know about food, all about food and will happily tell you!
Seriously, a good and easy recipe made with ingredients that are good for my boy Lewis. If I could include a picture, you’d see another very happy Corgi enjoying his treats.
Thank you for sharing your recipe!
My dogs love these!! My toy poodle will only eat these.
So easy to make. My dog loves them! I used molds or just made a ball and squashed flat. Definitely making these again
How many days will these keep in a sealed container?
Our dogs love these cookies! They make good gifts for fellow dog owners too. I like to add a free range chicken egg and touch of flower (makes it easier to roll out), and cook for a little longer.
1/4 cup of coconut oil seem to be a lot. Is this measurement correct?
How long do these treats stay good? How should I store them? Thx. – trying these tonight!!
My four dogs loved loved loved these cookies. Just made a batch today which was so easy. 2 of the 4 pups have allergies and we are switching their proteins as well as their treats. Thank you.
Our dalmatians have gone absolutely nuts for these!!!! They were so easy to make, we had everything in the house to make them and we will definitely be making them again. Thanks so much for a great recipe. @poppyandralph
I have a pitbull, who does not enjoy most human foods (unlike other dogs who eat scraps that fall to the floor). However, he LOVES coconut oil, which is what sold me on trying this recipe. I did this with my kids as a Covid-19 quarantine project since the theme for their “school” this week is Pets! Our dog gobbled it up and was begging for more. These were super easy to throw together and the girls enjoyed using cookie cutters. Next time, I’ll probably skip the cookie cutter hassle and just cut them after baking as other reviewers suggested. Thanks for this easy peasy and yummy dog-approved treat recipe!
Loved this recipe will make it again! Here’s what I did differently: only used 2 and 1/2 cups oats, 2 tablespoons cinnamon, and 1 cup tapioca flour which helps make the treat gummy and less crumbly.
Make sure you check all processed foods for Palm Oil and stop buying those items..
Quick and easy to make! My doggie loved them and making more today
My toy poodle Loved these. And they are really really easy to make. I just formed them into balls and pressed and baked.
I will be making these again.
I try to watch the full recipe and make it my little Sugar. it loves to eat various types of treat and I preferred to avoid packaged food. Thanks to sharing something new for us.
Wthis is my go to dog treat recipe. I make them in my pampered chef mini muffin pan. I freeze half and store the others in the refrigerator.
Both of the dogs LOVE them! I doubled the recipe, too. Instead of doing cookie cutters, I just pressed it onto a greased (coconut oil) cookie sheet until the ‘dough’ was approximately 1/4th of an inch (no rolling pin). I baked 10 minutes, took out, cut into small 1″ squares (which went onto two large cookie sheets with a double batch) and then baked another 10 minutes or so. Took out, let cool, stored in a glass container. Perfect size for both pups and I love how healthy they are!
My lab collie cross absolutely loves these he would make them a meal if i let him
