How do you store these? What is their shelf life? Great recipe!
I’ve never had to store for very long 🙂 They will last a few days in a canister on the counter or you can refrigerate. Because of the egg, I wouldn’t store for very long periods though.
I double the recipe. After they have been baked and cooled completely, I divide them up into baggies and freeze them. This way they do not go moldy.
I have been making these for 4 months now and my dog loves them.
That’s what I did!
I’ve made these a few times now, always sure to use the correct peanut butter for one thing. I’ve also used both white flour & almond flour, both seem to work just fine. I adjusted my baking time to 17 min., the bottoms didn’t brown as much. I think next I’ll try some experimenting on my own but this is a great recipe. Also, I freeze them & they keep fine.
Awsome my dog loves these but do u think I could do this without the egg?
Eggs are really good for dogs as long as they’re cooked.
You can sub egg with more mashed banana. But i dont know/count the nutrient value…. eggs are good.
Our new puppy arrives on Wednesday and I love the fresh and preservative free ingredients. Have you tried this by substituting the whole wheat flour for more oats and/or coconut flour or have you added sweet potato?
Recipe that does not have any flour, wheat, white or any other. Ideas?
You can always substitute it with coconut flour! I always do that!
There is a dog treat recipe with just oatmeal, peanut butter and banana. You need 1 1/2 cup Oatmeal, 1 Banana, and 1/2 cup peanut butter. Cook at 350 for 15 minutes.
Is that just oats or so you need to make oatmeal?
It’s just the oats. 🙂
I use almond, brown flower, rice flower.
We’re going to have to make some of these for Sparkie. I’m sure he would love them, especially since he thinks he need a treat all of the time.
I made these twice. The first time they were a big hit. The second time they turned moldy in less than 10 days. I didn’t see the comment about refrigeration or only keeping a few days on the counter. I gave them as a gift in a glass jar. Next time I will try refrigerating.
My dogs absolutely loved these
I am so excited to make these later today. I used your treats on my website, and I didn’t say thatI created these cookies you can check for yourself. And I had the best idea that after I made them like melt some peanut butter, and once the cookies are done, and cooled down, and the peanut butter is all melted I would drizzle the peanut butter on top.
Extra yummy for the dogs. Lol. I have to try that.
This is a great recipe and safe for dogs. Thanks for sharing.
My son and daughter in law recently rescued a dog and I am going to surprise them by bringing these treats for her. I do not have a bone mold but I will do the best I can to shape them like a bone.
The dog won’t care what the shape is. Use any cookie cutter you want.
I just roll them into a small ball and then flatten out, the dogs love them so much and don’t care the shape and their mom is too lazy to roll rofl
i made these and my doggies loved them.
Oh! I am so making these for some special pups that I give Xmas gifts too!
Love this!! Thanks for the recipe!
instead of a flour type can I add more oats instead? I have only white flour and would like to make these tonight if possible…
I’ve never tried it that way, but it’s worth a try. If you do, let us know how it goes. It would still be very healthy for them!
If you have rolled oats for the recipe anyway, you can use some of the oats and blend them to a powder making oat flour. I had to do that for one of my pup recipes and it worked beautifully!
It works fine with white flour ?
I am going to try making these with rice,coconut or almond flour and substitute pumpkin for the eggs. My own pups & my pet clients will like these I am sure!
The ingredients doesnt list flour but the instructions say add more flour?
Maybe you missed it? It list 1 cup whole wheat flour 🙂
Can you freeze these? Or think it will not defrost correctl, like mush.
To be honest, I have never tried freezing. I have 7 large dogs here, so they make pretty quick work of them 🙂 If you do give it a try, please let me know how they turn out. I am assuming that the pups probably wouldn’t mind though.
What can I use instead of wheat flour have tried rice flour but it crumbles. Also any wheat free recipes made with baby food
Good question on the substituion. However, I do have one recipe that uses baby food and no wheat flour here: https://missmollysays.com/homemade-carrot-dog-treats-with-gluten-free-flour/
Thank you for sharing this great recipe! It was quick and easy to whip up. My Sadie (German Shepherd) and mom’s Bella (Cairn Terrier/Poodle mix who’s quite picky) gobbled them up! I made about 50 small cut out hearts with the recipe. As far as storing, I’m not worried about it because they won’t last long. Thanks again! =)
Wonderful! If you do need to store them for a bit, put them in the fridge! And, my beloved Siberian/German Shepherd that passed away a couple of years ago was named Sadie!
I’ll try these this weekend. I make Peanut Butter-Pumpkin biscuits for my furbabies, also Carrot-Peanut Butter muffins, and chicken jerky. I always store my dog treats in the freezer because no preservatives are used. They thaw on the counter within a few minutes.
I bet my dogs would love these. They absolutely adore anything with peanut butter. I can’t wait to try making them!
Ive made two batches of these so far for different groups of dogs in my family and they all love them. I don’t make them as thick though. I also cook them longer as they like crunchier treats, these however brown extremely quick I’ve noticed (in comparison to pb/pumpkin and my PB treats I make). I think it might be the natural sugar in the banana. Just wish I could cook them longer to get a crunchier non soft cookie without them becoming so dark brown so quickly. (Less moisture in the treats also make them last longer) any suggestions? Lower temp for longer? Do they harden up quickly after cooling?
The lower temp for longer time is an idea. They do harden fairly quickly. I’m not sure there is such thing as too hard for a pup (at least compared to us humans), so it couldn’t hurt to try it 🙂
I just made these and my dog keeps following me around hoping for another. Thanks for the great recipe.
This recipe looks amazing. I might make the dough and freeze what I don’t need. Thanks for sharing.
I use a pizza cutter to quickly cut the dough into rectangles and squares. Believe me, the dogs don’t mind me skipping the cute factor at all and it’s quicker and easier for the cook.
Hey! Just want to mention if you have a small breed, it would be smart to avoid the chunky peanut butter and peanut chunks could lead to a GI obstruction which would require surgery.
My Jack loves these! The only cookie cutter I had was hearts. So cute!
Making these now… I’m going to try freezing them in a Tupperware container layered in wax paper
Not sure wax paper is a good idea for the freezer I put some in between. Steaks and couldn’t get the paper off. It was kinda gross
Try freezing them on the cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil. Then pop them off and keep them in freezer bags. When frozen individually, they don’t stick together. I do this with the wet dog food I make for my “boys.” Scoop the portions onto parchment paper lined baking sheets and freeze. Pop the pucks off and toss into freezer bags. Take out 3- 4 at a time and place in a bag in the fridge. That way you have a few days worth ready to go, and nothing goes bad.
These are wonderful. I have been making them for several months and keep them in a freezer bag and take out only enough for a couple days. My dog loves them and so would I if they had salt! I call them Elvis Cookies!
Easy Peasy! Made 13.5 dozen (Actually 2 batches) using hearts and small bone cookie cutter and a couple big bones. I have 3 Rotties and a goldendoodle, shared with everyone on FB with pics. Thank you Molly, they were a HIT with Zeus, Zander, Zane and Logan! Giving some to friends today that we’re going out with. =)

A dog would love this
I shared this with my cousin and her fur babies loved the treats. She says thanks!
I am new to making doggie treats, is regular white flour permissable in this recipe? I think my grand puppies would love this. Anxious to try this recipe, thank you for sharing.
Yes ma’am white flour is fine. I actually use it most of the time 🙂
The recipe is great but is better gluten free. I feed my small dogs raw homemade dog food and treats that are gluten free. Which is perfect since I eat gluten free. A word of advice I didn’t know about gluten free flour is they need to be weighed by a kitchen scale. Once you find the equivalent gluten free flour ounces to normal flour it’s all easy and usually perfect ? from there. I make all of my favorite old recipes gluten free now.
We’re going to try this recipe this weekend!
Would this recipe work just as well if I make drop cookies from the dough instead of rolling it out and using a cookie cutter? I’d lower the temperature on the oven so they can cook longer too since they will be thicker. My daughter is doing an Economics project for her 3rd grade class and wanted to do dog treats. We’re thinking she can use the whole “time is money” adage to justify the short cut! We can’t wait to try them with our dogs too!
Of course you can! And, dogs don’t really care what shape their treat come in 🙂
Can I use white flour?
Yes, you can 🙂
Could I make these treats with all purpose flour?
Yes, they can be made with all purpose flour 🙂
Can I substitute whole wheat flour with Almond flour?
Yes, you may 🙂
Can you freeze them?
Yes, certainly! It is the way I store mine and then just take as many out as want at a time 🙂
Just made these doggie cookies for my granddog Dakota…..they are heart shaped.
Question about the oats…Are they quick oats or regular? Thank you!
I used quick oats or Quaker Minute Oats.
Thank you I just made these for the first time and both of my Boston terrier loved it !
I’m trying these tomorrow for my 3 and my daughters gran-dog a chocolate lab LOKI! I have a Poodle, my daughters Mini Yorkie, and my brothers Jack Russell. Regardless they “ALL” Grans babies!!! We see how it goes. This will be my 3rd homemade treat for them. The other 2 were a success!
Please add a warming for people to check the peanut butter to make sure there are no artificial sweeteners. Many peanut butter manufacturers are now adding xylitol to their peanut butter even a very small amount can be fatal to your dog
Any receipts without wheat? I am trying to avoid grains outer than oats for my furry baby! Food allergies….
Maybe these Frozen Pumpkin treats? My pups love these things! https://missmollysays.com/easy-frozen-homemade-pumpkin-dog-treats-with-only-3-ingredients/
Just made these for my pup and she loved it. We are grain free with her so I substituted coconut flour instead of wheat flour and almond butter instead of PB. Didn’t have any PB on hand. Will definitely be making more of these.
Love the substitutes! I will have to try those also! Thanks for telling me about them!
This recipe is great, my 3 yr old poma-chon loves them, its really easy, and I love them too, I just add sugar and voila human version. Thanks for sharing recipe!
What a great recipe! I’ve made pumpkin dog treats before and it’ll be fun to have a new recipe! I’m sure my greyhound will love them!
I love that they are bone shaped! So cute! Sometimes we have to stop and take time to bake for the dogs as well! Thanks for linking up with Delicious Dishes Recipe Party!
Do you have a proven recipe that helps ease skin irritation due to dry, flaking ask n due to seasonal allergies? My furson Ronan has raw skin by the fall. Thank you and happy baking.
No necessarily a recipe, but I use coconut oil! I have one – Sallie – that has severe skin allergies. I have had a lot of luck using the coconut oil with her. I give each of my pups a teaspoon on their food nightly to eat. They love it! You can also rub it directly on the itchy spots for relief of the dry skin! We love, love love the coconut oil!
I bought organic coconut flour today can’t wait to make these tomorrow! I have to go back to the store as my son ate the bananas I had set aside Lol.
We have a Miss Molly, too, and I know she would love for your mom to make these for her.
Thank you so much for sharing with us at Merry Monday. We hope you’ll come to the new party. We’re celebrating our anniversary with a big Giveaway.
Hey, Molly! Just wanted to let you know that we loved your Oatmeal Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats Recipe so much when you shared it at the #HomeMattersParty last week, we’ve HIGHLIGHTED it THIS WEEK! Hope you can check it out when you get a sec! Happy weekend!!! http://lifewithlorelai.com/2016/05/05/home-matters-linky-party-85/

So… I just made these (baking the second batch) and had added only about a heaping 1/2 cup of wheat flour when it seemed a great consistency to start rolling out and cutting. Then I realized as I was cutting out the shapes that I had forgotten the egg! By then it was just too late to add it so I just went ahead and continued to cut them out and bake. So I just wanted to let you and other readers know that the banana and oil in the peanut butter (I used unsalted Trader Joe’s) definitely helped to bind and bake them and they turned out great! I cooked them for 20 minutes at 300 then increased the temp to 350 for about 5 minutes to brown and crisp them. I’m also thinking the lack of egg might also make them last longer. So if any other readers don’t have egg or don’t want to use the egg, they still turned out fantastic and my dog loved them!
Awesome! And, thank you for letting us know! I’m sure there are some that might be concerned about the egg and they will possible store longer without it. Thanks again!
I make a lot of homemade dog treats for my dog because she has allergies. Great recipe (and your biscuits look great — mine look like lumps, but Shadow doesn’t care!). #HomeMattersParty
Are they supposed be hard or soft ?
They are crunchy like a cookie 🙂
My dog loves bananas and loves peanut butter. He took one sniff of these treats and walked away. Would not even lick them! I guess I have a treat snob, lol. I gave them to a friend and their dog loved them.
I actually think it looks good.
I made these to see how my fur baby would like them, HE LOVED THEM! He gets so excited when I go to the treat box! I just put a double batch in the oven because we can’t keep them in the house to long before he eats them all!
PAWSOME! I am so glad he loved them! Thanks for letting us know!
These look amazing! Thanks for sharing.
I love how this recipes is made up of all ingredients I have in my house! It’ll make a great holiday gift for all the dogs in the family!
I love that these treats contain such great ingredients. Cute cutouts, too!
These sound good enough for -me- to eat hah! They sound like a twist on oatmeal cookies!! I’m sure my pup will love them! .. if I don’t eat the batter first ;P
What a great treat for my sister’s dog. She would love to make these because they are so simple.
We love when Mom bakes for us. Peanut butter and bananas are both yummy, so this recipe will go in our special cookbook.
These homemade dog treats look delicious! I would love to make these for my dog. He loves Peanut butter in his treats.
I’m going to try the Oatmeal, Peanut Butter and Banana Dog Treats Recipe. Thanks for sharing!
I want to try these with our dog. Think he will love them
Thank you for sharing this. My dog Cain would go “bananas” for it, pun intended.
We were just talking about dog treats the other day and saying how sometime little kids would eat them. LOL
Well with this treats I dont think we would have to worry much if they do. Lots of good ingredients in this treats. Thanks for the recipe
My dog would love these! I like knowing what is in the treats I give her.
I love peanut butter..i’m gonna try this recipe..thanks for sharing! 🙂
Can I make this recipe with rice flour
I’m sure you can and it will turn out fine
Can you freeze these for late Reply?
Yes, you can 🙂
Gotta make these for my fur baby! Thanks!
My girl will love these! I make some similar to these but i haven’t tried oats yet. I’m excited to make these for Sky, i love baking for her! Thanks for the new recipe!
You can also use rice or oat flour
I want to make this for my dog who loves peanut butter.
Thank you, my doggie loves homemade treats!!
These look so good. And I do have that one banana left that needs to be used. My pup is going to love these, especially with the peanut butter in them. I’m going to make them this weekend. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I love making dog cookies … treats, whatever, they love them!
Mine just came out of the oven about 15 minutes ago and are soft and taste like bread. Will they harden up after they cool? Also, did I use too much flour since they taste like bread or should they taste that way? Yes…I ate one. 🙂
What a wonderful and easy to make treat! We are on a tight budget, so making treats at home are a wonderful win/win. Or dogs love the homemade treats more than store-bought. So much healthier too.
Can you substitute white flour for the whole wheat?
Yes, you can 🙂
I can’t wait to try this recipe for my Monet….and her cousins Chipper and Tyson.
i would love to make these! nice healthy ingredients
I’m making them now with white flour hope my pup loves them
How long will the last and can I freeze them?
Those look tasty
Wouldn’t putting them in a dehydrator after baking make them last loner?
Great recipe! And I think my dog will love it!
I will have to make these for my parents 2 dogs
Just made these for Miss Ali added a little flax meal and I/2 tsp cinnamon, dough was easy to handle, made double batch so grandog Charlie wouldn’t be left out. Great, both approved with 5 stars, thanks for a great recipe ?
I am going to try this next and I will let you know how it turned out.
I made these treats for both my dogs they ate it the first time but after they turned their nose down at it.keep trying to see if they want it and it’s a hit and miss.lol but I’m happy because I know it’s healthy
When we ran out of our regular dog bones, I decided to get online and see I could find a recipe to try. I was happy to find that I had all the ingredients for this recipe on hand. I just got done making them and all three of our dogs loved them! Thanks for a great recipe!
I made these yesterday! I have 3 German Shepherds and one mix. They LOVE them! I made a few batches. So simple to make and after they were done, I bagged them up and put them in the freezer!
Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long?
Impressive looking treats I am sure dogs will enjoy to eat.
Are these cookie hard or soft?
These definitely look good enough to eat!
I made these and my dog loves them. Now that I know they are a success I’m going to make a larger batch and put some in the freezer. My kids thought they looked good too! I love making simple recipes, if they get too complicated I don’t tend to make them again. But I’ll definitely be making these a lot.
I know my dog would love these even if they weren’t in dog bone shapes.
Seems like a great dog treat! Good idea to freeze these!
Made these for my lab-easy to make and she loves them. Second batch I added a touch of organic pure maple syrup. She’s crazy about them!
Hi. If I leave the peanut butter out, can I add grated carrots ? Allergic to peanut butter. Thank you.
My dog loves anything with peanut butter and bananas just send it over the top!
These look good and I am sure our dog Duke would love them. Will have to try this 🙂
My friend made a batch for me and my six dogs at my house loved them.
I think my husband would enjoy these too.
this time I used apple sauce instead of banana, and added just a touch (about 3 Tb maple syrup as it is good for us and them lol. Just a hair sweeter, but still good for them
My dogs loved them. The first time I followed the recipe almost exactly but added a bit extra
of PB & banana. I just made a batch with dried blueberries added, and they went Gonzo for them. I plan to do a PB and apple chunks next time. So many ideas 🙂
This looks yummy for pet and parent. My dog will love these.
We have one trip planned this summer. Other than that, it’s just time in the pool.
Do you use regular oats or quick oats?
I used Quick oats but either will work fine.
These look great! Bet my babies would love them!
These look yummy!!!
These are perfect for any dog. My son has a German Shepard puppy that I bet would find these delectable.
They look pretty easy to make, thanks
Maybe I made them too big but I got eight out of this recipe
My treat loving chihuahua will love these. Pinned the recipe for later – too hot to turn on the oven in July!
My dogs love these! So easy to make ?
ps- I tasted one- other than not sweet it is edible!
This was my first time baking doggie treats for my grand puppy! They were easy to make and Casey followed me around all afternoon looking for more!
What a great recipe!
These look fabulous and I love that they are so simple! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much. I was skeptical but my dogs love, love these dog treats. Especially my finicky chihuahua. Just made a double batch. Yummm. Used bananas first time, boiled and mashed sweet potatoes this time.
These dog treats sound delicious, all dogs would love these! They seem pretty easy to make too. Thank you so much for sharing!
Our dog would love these treats! I would love to these for her!
These look great – thanks for the recipe!
Awesome recipe! My little dude would love them. Cooked eggs are a great food for dogs
My pup loves banana and peanut butter, so these would be perfect for him.
This recipe was simple to follow and my dog enjoyed the treats very much!
I wonder if these would be safe for parrots???
My Molly loved these! I will make them again tjis week end. I kept mine in a cookie tin . And they kept just fine.
(Molly is a Maltese/ Shih Tzu mix) And the neighbor dogs who’s names are not Molly loved them too !! Thanks for the recipe!
Love this! Can’t wait to try!
So cute
What size cutter do you use? I would guess a large cutter might require longer baking time?
What a great recipe for all our puppy friends!
They were a huge success with our three dogs! Pomeranian, German Shepherd and Husky. They all give 5 paws!
Can you use overnight oats?
It needs to be dry oats 🙂
Made these for Talon, a GSD with vertigo right now, 5-7-20. We shall see if he likes them!
Thanks so much for this recipe. I had a very overripe banana and some natural pb I needed to use up and and happened to come across this. My super pickyndogs love them!
My dogs love these.
Can you use almond or coconut flour in place of wheat flour?
Yes, you may, however, you may find you need to adjust the amount of banana 🙂
Thanks for sharing the recipe. My dogs love these biscuits.
I double the recipe and roll the dough to fit an XL cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. I cut the dough in a grid pattern before baking (using a pizza cutter and knife sprayed with cooking spray). Part of my pan is cut into small bites for my little dogs, and part is cut in big pieces for our friend’s very large dog. The first time I rolled balls and flattened them, but my arthritic hands like the full pan method much better, and they easily break apart once cooled.
This time I was short on flour so I used 2 cups ground Quick Oats and 1 cup Almond Flour for the double batch. It was too dry to mix so I added a small amount of Coconut Milk and they turned out looking and smelling as good as usual.
What a great idea to use a cookie sheet and then cut into the sizes you need! Thank you for sharing as I am sure others will love that idea too!
I made these.. my Bullmastiff loves them ♥️
Omg they where delicious my pit bull puppy,lab and terroir all loved them
Do they need to be refrigerated because of the egg? If not how long can it stay out
You can keep in a cookie jar on the counter for up to 2-3 days but to hold them longer keep in the refrigerator. Since the treats are baked, the egg is not raw and will be fine for this length of time 🙂
