Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ cup of mashed banana's (approximately 1 and ½ bananas
  • ½ cup of peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • ¾ - 1 cup of milk
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • ¾ cup of crushed dehydrated banana's (reserve ¼ cup for the tops)
  • ½ cup of bacon bits
  • 2 cups of whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup of oatmeal flour (all you have to do is process oatmeal in your food processor till it becomes a flour...it is that simple:) or you can just use 3 cups of whole wheat flour
  • ¼ cup of oatmeal
  • (this is a very friendly dough...if it seems to dry...add a bit more milk...if it seems too sticky...add a bit more flour...your dough should be a nice consistency that you can roll easily and cut out shapes)
Instructions
  1. Preheat Oven to 325 degrees
  2. Ok...I used my standup mixer but you can do this by hand also
  3. In a large mixing bowl whisk together or mix on low the wet ingredients...milk...peanut butter...egg...olive oil...banana's until smooth
  4. Add in the flours and baking powder and mix on low till you have a nice cookie type dough
  5. (this is a very friendly dough...if it seems to dry...add a bit more milk...if it seems too sticky...add a bit more flour...your dough should be a nice consistency that you can roll easily and cut out shapes)
  6. Fold in the crushed dehydrated bananas (reserving some for the topping) and your bacon bits (reserving some for the tops also)
  7. Flour a work space and roll the dough out to approximately ¼" thickness and then cut into the shapes your pups will enjoy.
  8. Brush your treats with an egg wash and sprinkle them with the crushed banana's and bacon bits and lightly press the toppings into the treat
  9. Arrange your cut treats on a parchment lined cookie pan and bake for approximately 30 minutes.
  10. Depending on your oven and can take more or less time so please keep an eye on these yummies. You want them to be nice and golden brown and crunchy!
  11. Remove them from the oven when they are done and cool them on a wire rack
  12. Then store in an airtight container and what I do a lot of times in pop them in a ziplock and freeze them...that way I can keep them fresh up to 3 months and take them out as we need them.
