Peanut Butter Dog Treats
Description
The Peanut Butter Dog Treats recipe uses natural creamy peanut butter, eggs, whole wheat flour, and water to create a firm dough. Rolling it to a quarter-inch thickness and cutting into shapes allows even baking without spreading. Pressing holes with a fork or skewer helps texture and doneness. Baking at 350°F for about 18 minutes crisps the edges while keeping the treats firm enough for dogs to chew.
The optional drizzle of warmed peanut butter and coconut oil coat adds flavor and moisture without thinning out too much. Ensuring the peanut butter contains no xylitol or artificial sweeteners is crucial for pet safety. Substituting water for chicken, beef, or turkey broth enhances taste for picky eaters.
Storing these treats in an airtight container helps maintain freshness, and freezing allows longer storage up to three months. The simple ingredients make these a wholesome snack option for dogs at home.
Ingredients
Dog Treats
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 2 egg large
- 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup water
Drizzle
- 1/4 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
Dog Treats
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the peanut butter and eggs. Beat with hand mixer until combined.
- Add in the whole wheat flour and water and beat until the dough forms a ball.
- Dust your work surface with whole wheat flour.
- Roll the dough out to a 1/4-inch thickness.
- Cut out with the cookie cutter and place an inch apart on the prepared cookie sheet. They won’t spread.
- Press holes into the cookie using a fork or a skewer.
- Bake for 18 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. This will depend on the size of your cookie cutter. Mine was 3 1/4-inch long.
- Store in an airtight container. The cookies freeze well after being baked and will last up to 3 months in the freezer.
Drizzle
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, add in the peanut butter and coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir to combine. It should be a runny consistency but be thick enough that it doesn’t thin out and not hold its shape.
- Lay the dog bones out on wax paper.
- Use a spoon or add the drizzle to the sandwich bag and cut a small hole in the corner, drizzle the glaze over top of each dog treat.
Notes
- Ensure the peanut butter used does not contain xylitol or artificial sweeteners, as these are toxic to dogs.
- Substitute water with low-sodium chicken, beef, or turkey broth to enhance flavor.
- Baked treats can be stored in an airtight container or frozen for up to three months.
