Yip Yap Banana Snaps (Dog Treats)

I love to cook and bake and since we don't have any kids yet, of course I sometimes spoil my dogs with fresh homemade treats. This recipe comes from a co-worker who spoils her dog even more than mine and makes dog treats for all the dogs she knows every Christmas, even the ones at the animal shelter. She submitted this recipe for our Cooking for a Cure cookbook, a cookbook a friend and I put together for a breast cancer fundraiser. Make your best friend happy and try this recipe-they'll love it! :)

Yip Yap Banana Snaps (Dog Treats)

1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 cup canola oil
2 to 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup honey
1 large egg
1 3/4 cup quick rolled oats

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stir together the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Stir in the oil, bananas, honey and egg until smooth. Fold in the oats. Drop the dough by the rounded teaspoonful, 1 1/2 inches apart, on 2 ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until light golden. Cool to room temperature before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week or wrap well and freeze for up to 2 months (thaw before serving).
