Recipe #1 – Pups Go Bananas Over Peanut Butter
Ingredients
1 ¼ cups/300g Plain or wholemeal flour
1 cup/100g Plain rolled oats
2 Eggs
2 Bananas
1 tsp Honey
1 cup/250g Peanut butter (make sure it does not contain xylitol sweetener which can be harmful to dogs)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C.
- Blend together the peeled bananas, eggs, peanut butter and honey. If you don’t have a blender you can mash the bananas with a fork and whisk in the rest of the wet ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and oats, then add this to the wet mixture.
- Bring the mixture together with a spoon or using hands until it forms a dough.
- Dust a work surface with flour and roll out the dough to be around 1cm in thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out biscuits from the dough.
- Place the biscuits on a lined baking tray and bake in the oven for around 20 minutes or until golden brown in colour.
- Leave to cool fully before feeding to your dog.
Recipe #2 – Sweet Paw-tato Treats
Ingredients
1 Banana
½ cup/60g Sweet potato, mashed
2 cups/160g Rolled Oats / Oat flour
Directions
- Peel and chop your sweet potato then boil in a saucepan of water for about 10-15 minutes, until soft. Once thoroughly cooked, drain and set aside to cool completely.
- Tip your oats into a blender and pulse them into a flour, or alternatively you can use ready-made oat flour.
- Add your banana to a bowl along with your cooled sweet potato. Blend until smooth using a hand blender. Then, add in your blended oats or oat flour.
- Mix all the ingredients and then bring together with your hands to form a dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and leave the in the fridge for up to 6 hours, or overnight. It’s important to do this, as it will allow the oats to absorb some moisture and means that they won’t swell in your dog’s stomach.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C/350 °F. Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough out to be about 1cm thick. Cut out the biscuits, using whatever shape you like.
- Place them on a lined baking tray and bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 30-35 minutes. When they are thoroughly cooked through, remove them from the oven and leave to cool completely.
- Once cool, they are ready for your dog to enjoy! These biscuits will keep fresh in a sealed container for up to two weeks.
Recipe #3 – Pup Flavor Tailored Treats
Ingredients
1 ¼ cup/300g Plain wholemeal flour (substitute for ground oat flour if your dog is sensitive to wheat)
1tsp Salt

1 Stock (beef, Chicken or fish stock cube. Customise to your dog’s taste)
3 fl oz/100ml Water (hot)
Directions

- Dissolve the stock cube of your choice in hot water and add the remaining ingredients
- Mix together to form a dough and knead until it forms a ball (approximately 3 minutes)
