Categories     Cookies     Bake     Banana     Bacon

Yield 25 treats

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 banana
1 large egg
1/3 cup natural peanut butter
1 tablespoon plus one teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon flax seeds
1/4 cup crisp cooked bacon, finely chopped (from about 3 strips; optional)
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add the egg and peanut butter and stir until well combined. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the honey, along with the flax seeds, bacon, and oats. Add the flour and stir until evenly combined (the dough will be very thick). Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. 2. Remove dough from the refrigerator and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. 3. Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and a second rack in the lower third then preheat the to 350°F. 4. On a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough to 1/3 inch thickness. Using a cookie cutter, cut out as many biscuits as possible and transfer to the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1/2 inch between treats. 5. Gather any scraps and kneed them until combined. Reroll the dough and cut out more treats. Repeat until you run out of dough. 6. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1 teaspoon of honey with 1 tablespoon of water until the honey is dissolved. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops of the treats with the honey mixture. 7. Bake the treats, switching them between the upper and lower racks about halfway through baking, until they are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
