Banana Treats Help Please

[Ellie May]

I lost my banana treat recipe and I need to make treats today.
No time to order from Cindy, so maybe someone has a recipe that is:

Grain free with the exception of oatmeal
Soy free
Meat, poultry and egg free
Dairy free

I am finding pupcake recipes but they come out way too soft.
These don't have to be hard, but they do need to hold a bone shape...I need to be able to carry them outside without having a mess to clean up.

Anyone?

Wish I could help, good luck

I don't know if you can use this..

Egg substitutes - Egg Replacer - Baking Substitute - Egg Allergies - Ener-G Egg Replacer

What is a good substitute for eggs?
• Ener-G Egg Replacer - follow directions on box.
• 2 tbsp cornstarch = 1 egg
• 2 tbsp arrowroot flour = 1 egg
• 2 tbsp potato starch = 1 egg
• 1 heaping tbsp soy powder + 2 tbsp water = 1 egg
• 1 tbsp soy milk powder + 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water = 1 egg.
• 1 banana = 1 egg in cakes.
1 tbsp milled flax seed and 3 tbsp water = 1 egg. Light, fluffy cakes

This has flour in it, and egg but the previous poster listed egg substitutes. It was created for a dog that has numerous food allergies. I'll see if I can find any other recipes.

Thank you both.
I think I will just use extra banana in place of the egg and see how it goes.

Clearly you want a cookie-type...but until you can order your usual treats, maybe you could just give actual banana chunks? I just give Zoey little pieces of assorted fruit, which put her right into full-blown ecstasy.

I am a lazy woman, though, and Zoey adores all food...

I can be lazy too but I needed something that I could put in my pocket if need be, so plain banana is too sticky.

I used the first recipe, left out the peanuts and added extra banana to replace the egg. It worked just fine and Ellie loves them.

Glad to hear you found something that worked for you & Ellie!

LOL! I have to admit...reaching into your pocket and finding a gooey blob of banana does NOT sound appetizing.

Glad you found a recipe that worked for you.

I found this online, thought it looked good enough to share.

Peanut Butter and Banana Dog Biscuits

NGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
1 egg
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup mashed banana
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 egg white, lightly beaten, for brushing

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Stir together the egg, peanut butter, banana, and honey in a medium bowl; blend thoroughly. Stir in the flour and wheat germ; mix well. Turn dough out onto a floured board and roll to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes with a cookie cutter, place on prepared baking sheet, and brush tops with egg white.
Bake biscuits in preheated oven until dried and golden brown, about 30 minutes, depending on size. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

Crystal, I know you've already made your treats but I just came across this recipe that sounds pretty good, too.

A delicious recipe from MOdern Dog's Spring 09 issue:

Peanut Butter and Banana Oat Drops by Gwen Burgart & Kim Forrest

Ingredients
4 cups rolled oats
2 Tbsp ground flax seed
2 medium very ripe bananas
1/2 cup natural (no sugar or shortening added) peanut butter
1/2 cup water

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix together oats, flax seed, bananas and peanut butter in an electric mixer. Add some water and mix well. Drop 1/2 teaspoon-sized drops onto greased cookie sheet or roll out and cut with a cookie cutter (let dough stand for a few minutes before rolling; it's sticky initially). Bake for 25 min or until golden brown. The drops last longer and are delightfully crunchy if they are placed in a dehydrator for several hours after baking to remove all moisture. This can also be done in a low temperature (170 degrees) oven.
