The parsley in these treats makes them a secret breath freshener for your pooch; substitute dried mint for half of the parsley if you like. You can adjust the size of the treats for small or large dogs, baking them a few minutes less or more.

Ingredients

• 1 banana, peeled
• 1 cup oat flour
• 2/3 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup dried parsley (or substitute dried mint for half of the parsley using 1/4 cup each of the dried parsley and 1/4 cup dried mint)
• 3 tablespoons peanut butter
• 1 egg, beaten
