Healthy 3 Ingredient Treats!
These are really great! They’re super cost-effective, considering the ingredients are cheap and you don’t have to use all of it in one go, and the dogs love it! These 3 ingredient treats get 4/4 basset approvals! Personally, I double this recipe and it yields about 40 treats, but that can vary depending on how you cut them.
Ingredients:
1 Banana (preferably overripe)
1/2 cup Natural Peanut Butter (no xylitol!)
1 cup Old-Fashioned Oats
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mash an overripe banana.
Add peanut butter and oats and mix until evenly distributed.
Spread the mixture on a sheet of parchment paper to desired thickness (as I always say when cooking: follow your heart).
Cut into cute shapes and place on a prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-13 minutes or until golden.
Let cool completely before sharing with your four legged friends!
These treats are very healthy for your dog! The three ingredients each have nutritional value for your furry best friend.
Bananas are a good source of potassium [builds muscle and stimulates nervous system], magnesium [strengthens muscles], vitamin c [supports skin and bone health and strengthens the immune system], fiber [aids digestion, relieves constipation], vitamin B6 [promotes digestion] and carbohydrates [energy!].
Oats are high in fiber [aids digestion, relieves constipation], antioxidants [lower blood pressure and improve blood flow], and vitamin b and linoleic acid [maintain a healthy coat and skin]. Oats are good for their nervous, reproductive and immune systems - they can keep your pet regular and lower cholesterol levels.
Peanut butter contains magnesium [strengthens muscle], manganese [aids metabolism], phosphorus [strengthens bones and teeth], protein and healthy fats, vitamin b [helps metabolism, skin and coat] and e [reduces inflammation, supports immune health] and fiber [aids digestion, relieves constipation]. Plus, dogs just really love it!
