Vegan Dog Treats
Vegan dog treats?? Even though it sounds confusing for our carnivore friends, these treats are a great way to incorporate new ingredients into your dog's diet.
Equipment
- Bone-Shaped Cookie Cutters
- Baking Sheet
- Rolling Pin
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups flour such as whole wheat, almond, coconut, or chickpea
- 2 ripe bananas
- ¼ cup peanut butter use a peanut that does not contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 300°F (148°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix: In a large bowl, stir together all ingredients until mixture forms a cohesive dough (add a splash of water if needed to help the dough form). Knead dough for 5 minutes to develop the gluten (creating chewier treats).
- Shape: Roll dough out to be about ¼ inch thick. Use a bone-shaped cookie cutter to cut dough, transferring each bone onto your prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.* Continue until all dough is used.
- Bake: Bake on the middle rack for 25 to 30 minutes, or until dog biscuits are crispy. They'll continue to harden as they cool.

Notes
*Alternatively, roll the dough right out onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, cut into shapes, and peel the remaining dough away from the cutouts!
Storage: Keep these in an air-tight container or Ziplock bag for up to 1 week refrigerated or up to 2 months frozen.
