1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—peanut butter can stick without it.
2. Mash ripe bananas until smooth with just a few small lumps remaining (overripe bananas work best).
3. Mix in natural peanut butter until completely smooth and well combined—this is where the magic happens.
4. Gradually stir in oats and oat flour until a soft dough forms that holds together when squeezed.
5. Roll dough on lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick, then cut into desired shapes or squares.
6. Place biscuits on prepared baking sheet with space between each one for even baking.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown around edges—they’ll firm up as they cool.
8. Let them cool completely before treating your pup (if they can wait through that amazing smell).

Notes:

• Always verify peanut butter is xylitol-free—this artificial sweetener is deadly for dogs
• Amber loves these slightly soft, so don’t over-bake if your dog prefers chewy textures
• Dough should be slightly sticky but manageable—adjust with more flour or banana as needed

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks
• Freeze for up to three months in freezer bags (perfect for batch making)
• Natural oils keep them moist longer than most homemade treats
• Keep them dry to maintain that perfect texture
