Homemade Peanut Butter Dog Treats
Homemade Peanut Butter Dog Treats use pumpkin puree, peanut butter, eggs, and whole wheat flour to create a firm dough rolled and cut into shapes for baking. These treats bake to golden edges with a slightly crunchy texture, making a wholesome snack for dogs that combines familiar flavors with simple, dog-friendly ingredients.
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- 2 egg large
- 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat pumpkin puree, peanut butter and eggs on medium-high until well combined, about 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually add 2 1/2 cups flour at low speed, beating just until incorporated. Add an additional 1/4 cup flour at a time just until the dough is no longer sticky.
- Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using cookie cutters, cut out desired shapes and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Place into oven and bake until the edges are golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.*
- Let cool completely.
Notes
- Baking times will vary depending on the size and thickness of the treats; adjust accordingly to avoid over- or under-baking.
- Using parchment paper or a silicone baking mat helps prevent sticking and eases cleanup.
- Allow treats to cool completely before offering to your dog to ensure proper texture and safety.
- Portion size depends on the shapes and cutters used; tailor to your dog's size and dietary needs.
