I do believe that if Elvis was reincarnated into a dog he would be asking for these Fat Elvis Homemade Dog Treats every day. Why you ask…well the top ingredients in these yummy little biscuits are peanut butter…banana’s and bacon along with some other tasty bits! Come and see what all the tail wagging is about…these are going to get your doggie “all shook up”!

This is a canine culinary combination that adds up to yummy! Banana’s…Peanut Butter & Bacon (ok…I know I am a vegetarian and I use fake bacon crumbles in real life) but you get the picture! These dog biscuits not only have fresh banana’s but they get extra crunch and flavor from dehydrated banana’s and I have it on good authority…they are a winner!
So let’s get to baking some treats for your precious pups!
- 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)
- Preheat Oven to 325 degrees
- Ok...I used my standup mixer but you can do this by hand also
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together or mix on low the wet ingredients...milk...peanut butter...egg...olive oil...banana's until smooth
- Add in the flours and baking powder and mix on low till you have a nice cookie type dough
- (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)
- Fold in the crushed dehydrated bananas (reserving some for the topping) and your bacon bits (reserving some for the tops also)
- Flour a work space and roll the dough out to approximately ¼" thickness and then cut into the shapes your pups will enjoy.
- 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
- Arrange your cut treats on a parchment lined cookie pan and bake for approximately 30 minutes.
- 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!
- Remove them from the oven when they are done and cool them on a wire rack
- 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.
Trust me and my dogs from the heaven’s and here on earth…these Fat Elvis Treats are a WINNER! 4 Paws Up for sure!
BONE Appetit!
