Treat your furry friend to these wholesome, homemade peanut butter dog treats! Made with simple, dog-friendly ingredients like peanut butter, banana, and whole wheat flour, these crunchy snacks are sure to make tails wag. Perfect for training or as an everyday reward.

Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 cup creamy peanut butter – Ensure it’s xylitol-free for safety.
  2. 1 egg – Helps bind the treats together.
  3. ½ ripe banana, mashed – Adds natural sweetness and nutrition.
  4. 1 tablespoon maple syrup – Optional but adds a touch of flavor.
  5. 1 cup whole wheat flour – Provides structure for the treats.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Mix the dough: In a mixer, combine peanut butter, egg, mashed banana, and maple syrup. Gradually beat in the whole wheat flour until a crumbly dough forms. If needed, add 2-3 tablespoons of water to firm up the dough.
  • Roll and cut: Roll out the dough on a floured countertop to about ½ inch thickness. Use a dog-inspired cookie cutter to cut out shapes, then place them on the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake: Bake the treats for 15-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Adjust time based on your dog’s texture preference—shorter for softer treats, longer for crunchier ones.
  • Cool and serve: Let the treats cool completely before serving to your pup.

Notes

  • Always check your peanut butter to ensure it is free from xylitol, a sweetener toxic to dogs.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze for longer freshness.
  • These treats are meant for occasional snacking and should complement a balanced diet.
