Blueberry, Banana, Peanut Butter Treats

Otter's Note: Woof! What’s better than peanut butter? Peanut butter with banana and blueberries, that’s what. These are amazing and Mom says they are HEALTHY - they have protein, fruits, oats and the good-for-you fats. 

Blueberry, Banana, Peanut Butter Treats

Adapted from A Cozy Kitchen and Dog Treat Kitchen 

Makes 28 tablespoon sized treats 

Ingredients:

1 medium banana, mashed


3 tablespoons creamy (natural) peanut butter


1 tablespoon of coconut oil

1 large egg


½ cup blueberries (mine were frozen)

1 3/4 cup Garbanzo bean flour

1/4 cup rolled oats (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

In a blender, add banana, peanut butter, coconut oil, egg and blueberries, mix until completely combined. Into a medium bowl, add the wet batter to garbanzo bean flour and rolled oats; mix until dough is well incorporated.

Transfer the dough to a piece of heavily floured parchment paper. This dough is very sticky, so flouring the paper is really important. Roll the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

After the dough is chilled, roll the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness and cut out the cookies using a cookie cutter of choice (remember to flour the rolling pin and cookie cutter). Re-roll the scraps and cut out more cookies. (I along with A Cozy Kitchen) used a small heart shaped cookie cutter and ended up with 28 cookies.) Transfer the cookies to a parchment-lined baking sheet. These cookies won’t spread much so placing them close together is okay.

Bake the cookies for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the cookies to come to room temperature on a cooling rack. Cookies will be good for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.

*If you would like to make these treats grain-free omit the oatmeal.
