Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened peanut butter
- 1 cup mashed ripe banana
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1.5 cups quick oats
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup dog-safe carob chips (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened peanut butter, mashed ripe banana, and unsweetened applesauce. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Gradually add the quick oats to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms.
If using dog-safe carob chips, fold them gently into the dough.
Using a spoon or hands, shape the dough into small, bite-sized balls (approximately 1-2 inches in diameter).
Place the treats onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or container.
Optional: For added creaminess, top each treat with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt.
Chill the treats in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to firm up.
Serve to your dog as a special dessert treat. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
