Recipe: Banana and Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits
If your dog has allergies, you can substitute rice flour, coconut flour, almond flour or any other type of flour that is suitable for his digestion. Ground flaxseed or ground sunflower seeds could be used in place of the wheat germ. The best thing about homemade dog treats is that you can cater the ingredients to your pup’s needs.

Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup mashed banana
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup wheat germ
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350˚F.
Stir together the egg, peanut butter, banana and honey in a medium sized mixing bowl. Stir in the wheat germ and flour. Mix well.
You can drop small balls of dough onto a well greased cookie sheet and press them down or you can roll the dough out and use cookie cutters to make fun shaped biscuits. One of the easiest ways to make treats with this dough is by putting spoonfuls into a well-greased mini muffin tray.
No matter what shape you make them, bake the treats for about 30 minutes or until they’re browned and begin to crack on the top. Once they have cooled completely, you can serve them to your dog sparingly.
