Ingredients
  • 1 Banana the more ripe it is the better it will be. I use my overripe bananas in this recipe.
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • oil to coat the baking pan - I used olive oil today but you could use sunflower or coconut oil or even peanut oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Cut the banana and put it into a mixing bowl. Crack the eggs into the bowl and turn on the mixer for about 30 seconds to help break down the banana a bit more. Add the sugar and the peanut butter and turn the mixer back on for about 2 minutes.
  3. Coat the baking pan well this recipe is very sticky!
  4. Pour the mixture into the baking pan and put into the preheated oven. I suggest placing it on the top rack so that the bottom does not cook faster then the top.
  5. Set the timer for 20 minutes. The inside will always be chewy but you don't want to overcook it. If it needs more time put it in for another 5 minutes.
  6. Let cool and serve or serve warm with a scoop of icecream (or dairy free "icecream" of your choice) on top.
Notes
You can use a mixture of white sugar and brown sugar for a richer taste. Personally I like the all white sugar version better and so will most people but if you are serving them as dessert after a fancier meal I would go either half and half with brown sugar or almost completely brown sugar. If you are serving these outdoors or at a buffet type meal with dogs present if they happen to get a few bites of one or you happen to spot a child going bite for bite with the dog there is no need to worry. Peanut butter, banana, and eggs are perfectly healthy for your dog while they don't need the sugar they will find these be to an awesome special treat.
