How To Make Easy Bake Banana Paws
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mash the banana in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
- Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl, then add to the mashed banana.
- Add the flour and water, then mix until a soft, pliable dough forms.
- Tip: Add a touch more flour if the dough is too sticky, or a splash more water if too dry.
- Lightly flour your surface, then roll out the dough to about 1 cm thick.
- Use your favourite cookie cutter (bone, paw, or heart shapes work great) to cut out treats.
- Arrange evenly on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, until golden and lightly firm.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before serving (or storing in an airtight container).
- Whisk until smooth and silky, then lightly coat the top of each biscuit.
- Let it set before treating your pup!
