Peanut and Coconut Dog Treats
Easy-to-make little treats your dog will love! They’re grain-free and made with only simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 30 g smooth natural peanut butter
- 20 g unrefined virgin coconut oil
- 50 g ripe banana, room temperature
- 1 tbsp fine or medium unsweetened shredded coconut
- 35 g coconut flour
- 1/8 tsp turmeric, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
- Melt the peanut butter and coconut oil together in the microwave or in a double boiler.
- Mash the banana and add it to the mix along with the shredded coconut and stir to combine.
- Add the coconut flour and turmeric and stir until a smooth dough forms.
- Roll the dough out on a surface lightly floured with coconut flour until it’s about 1/4 inch/6 mm thick.
- Cut out whatever shapes you’d like and repeat until you’ve used up all the dough. You could even roll the dough out into a square and cut it into small bite-sized squares with a knife.
- Place the shapes on the prepared baking sheet, no need to leave too much space as they don’t spread.
- Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden on the surface and slightly darker around the edges.
- Let them cool completely on the baking sheet before storing in a tightly sealed container.
Notes
- *Disclaimer: I have a tiny not-so-great oven, so your bake time may vary from mine.
- I strongly suggest making recipes by weight, if you make them by cups I can’t guarantee that you’ll get the same results.
- These can be kept for about a week in a tightly sealed container at room temperature. If you want them to last longer, store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- The mashed banana can be replaced with the same amount of mashed sweet potato or pumpkin purée.
