Banana Peanut Butter Yogurt Bone Treats for dogs made with creamy yogurt and natural peanut butter for a wholesome homemade snack
Ingredients:
* 1 ripe banana, about 1/2 cup (120 g) (peeled and mashed)
* 1/4 cup (64 g) natural peanut butter (unsalted and xylitol-free)
* 1/2 cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
* 2 cups (240 g) whole wheat flour (or oat flour if preferred)
* 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
* 2 tbsp (30 ml) water (only if needed to form the dough)
* 2 tbsp (30 g) plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, for the decorative bone topping)
Supplements:
* None
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Mash the banana until smooth, then mix with the peanut butter, 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, and the beaten egg.
3. Gradually stir in the whole wheat flour until a firm dough forms. Add the water only if the dough is too dry.
4. Roll the dough to about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) thick and cut into bone shapes with a cookie cutter.
5. Place the treats on the prepared baking tray and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until firm and lightly golden.
6. Allow the treats to cool completely.
7. Pipe a thin line of the remaining plain Greek yogurt down the center of each bone to resemble the picture. Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Storage:
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Benefits:
* Banana provides potassium, fiber, and natural sweetness without added sugar.
* Natural peanut butter supplies healthy fats and protein when it is free of xylitol.
* Plain Greek yogurt adds calcium and protein while supporting a creamy texture.
