More Puppy Treats

It's no big secret how much I love Rocky, I love this little guy so much, so I decided to make him some more cookies. I used a different recipe this time to change it up, this one had banana's in it too. This recipe is super simple to make and took less than 5 minutes start to finish. These cookies were even easier and quicker to make than my last batch of doggy treats, the only thing is these ones can't be made into the cute dog bone and fire hydrant shapes like the other ones, not that Rocky knows the difference.
I wanted to get a cute shot of Rocky eating the cookies, I may have created a monster on this one. I put them on a small plate and put them on the dining room table, Rocky hopped himself up on the chair and snagged one. Then I moved the plate of cookies to the coffee table a lower surface that he can get to, as I'm getting my camera ready for the picture the next thing I know he hopped up onto the coffee table and got the cookies. This boy was not waiting for me to take a picture, he really wanted those cookies. Even after I took away the extras he hopped himself back up there sniffing around looking for some more. And when we came back downstairs he kept running upstairs to go find more cookies. I'd say he really liked these cookies, perhaps even better than the last batch so given Rocky's reaction to these cookies they will def be staying in the rotation. 

Peanut Butter Puppy Treats

1 egg
1/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 overly ripe banana, mashed
2 tablespoon honey
1 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup wheat germ (or a 1/2 cup flour)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat. Stir together egg, peanut butter, banana, and honey in a medium bowl; blend thoroughly. Stir in the oats and wheat germ; mix well. Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately smash cookie into a disk with the bottom of a glass. Cool on a wire rack.
