We have never spent so much time at home with our besties! Whilst we are getting used to the new normal, we have been putting the extra hours at home to good use, cuddling with our pups, chilling with our cats and hanging out with the horses. However one of our favorite things to do is make yummy treats for everyone! 

So while we all eat our new baked cookies let’s not forget to bake an extra batch of homemade dog treats as a huge thank you for our animal besties who are doing a great job of keeping us company at home! 

We found this recipe works a treat every time! It’s super simple, foolproof and is super quick to make! Check out the recipe below for your homemade dog treats! Then share them with us on social!  We want to see those bestie’s eating their biscuits! #friendshipcollar

Throwing food into your pup's open mouth is optional!

• Add peanut butter, banana and egg to the food processor.
• Mix until the dough looks uniform.
• Turn the dough out onto the countertop.
• If the dough is too sticky to work with - sprinkle the countertop with a tablespoon or two of flour, and work some of the flour from the counter into the dough until it is no longer sticky.
• Roll the dough out to roughly 1/8" thick.
• Cut treats out with a cookie cutter and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 16 - 18 minutes, rotate trays halfway through.
