Murphy’s Frosted Dog Bones
INGREDIENTS
3 cups old-fashioned oats
1 medium banana
1/3 cup peanut butter
1 large egg
2 Tbsp flour, if necessary
1–2 Tbsp water, if needed
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
Add 3 cups oats to a food processor and pulse for 30–60 seconds until it’s mostly flour-like with a few bigger bits left. Add 1/3 cup peanut butter, 1/3–1/2 cup mashed banana (1 medium banana), and 1 egg. Blend until a uniform dough forms. If it looks dry, add 1–2 tablespoons water and pulse again.
Turn the dough out onto the counter. If it’s sticky, sprinkle with 1–2 tablespoons flour and gently work it in until the dough is easy to handle.
Roll out to about 1/8-inch thick, cut into shapes, and place on the baking sheet. Re-roll scraps and repeat until you’ve used all the dough.
Bake 16–18 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Cool completely before giving to your dog.
FROSTING
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Whisk until smooth and spread thinly on cooled cookies. Let them air-dry for several hours (or refrigerate). It won’t get rock hard like royal icing, but it firms up nicely.
