Banana-Nut Cookies for Humans and Dogs

This recipe comes from the Vegan Dog Book. I was delighted to find that this recipe, in addition to being both dog and human-safe, is originally gluten-free!

Cody and Chelsea approve this recipe!

 This is half of the original recipe, and still made probably two hundred small treats (for training), so scale appropriately. Also be careful with ingredients for dogs - the book has a whole section on what you should and should not feed you dogs, and I wouldn't add anything to these without making absolutely sure that your dog can eat it.

Ingredients:
2 small bananas, very ripe
1/4 c natural peanut butter (make sure there is NOTHING but peanuts and peanut oil if you plan on feeding these to dogs - no added sugar or salt or anything)
1/8 c canola oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
2 1/2 c oat flour
Apple (optional)

Directions:
1)Preheat the oven to 325. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2) Mash the bananas well with a fork. Add the peanut butter, oil and vanilla and mix well.
3) Add the baking powder and oat flour to the banana mixture and combine well.
4) Take small pieces of dough (I used maybe 1/4 to 1/2 tsp for training treats) and put them on a cookie sheet. Alternatively you can roll out the dough and cut them into fun shapes with cookie cutters - I suggest larger cookies for people.
5) Bake the cookies  for 8-10 minutes. I topped the people cookies with chocolate.
6) Store the cookies in the fridge for up to 7 days. You can also store them in the freezer if you know you won't use that many treats in 7 days.
