1/2 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour for gluten-free)
1/4 cup rolled oats

Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, mashed banana, peanut butter, and egg. Mix until well blended.
Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the whole wheat flour and rolled oats until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it is manageable.
Shape Treats: Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Cool: Remove from the oven and let the treats cool completely on a wire rack before serving them to your dog.
