Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup oat flour (or finely ground rolled oats)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened peanut butter (xylitol-free)
  • A pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 330°F (165°C) for about 3 minutes and line the basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash the Bananas: In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth, leaving a few small lumps if desired.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the egg and melted coconut oil until the mixture is well combined.
  4. Add the Oat Flour: Gradually mix in the oat flour until a soft, workable dough forms. Add an extra tablespoon of flour if the dough feels sticky.
  5. Shape the Treats: Roll the dough into small balls and gently flatten them, or cut into shapes using a knife or small cookie cutter.
  6. Air Fry: Place the treats in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through. For firmer treats, add 2–3 more minutes.
  7. Cool Completely: Allow the treats to cool fully so they firm up and become safer for your dog to chew.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better dough consistency.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
  • Always line the basket with parchment paper or an air fryer liner to prevent sticking.
  • Adjust cooking times for preferred texture: shorter for soft, longer for chewy or crispier treats.
  • Store treats at room temperature for up to 2 days, refrigerate for up to 7 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Introduce treats gradually and in moderation based on your dog’s size.
  • Ensure peanut butter is xylitol-free if used as an add-in.
