Easy homemade peanut butter dog treats are irresistible to our furry friends.  Just a few ingredients, these dog biscuits can be whipped up in a half-hour.   

Super easy to make with simple ingredients and no additives or preservatives. This small-batch makes twelve good size dog treats!

When working with a dog trainer, it was explained to me that certain treats have a higher value to dogs than others. 

I should mention that this wonderful trainer believes in positive gentle training and Dino is responding wonderfully. 

I have noticed that these particular peanut butter dog treats fall into the "high value" treats category. 

In other words, he comes running when he sees them!

I love that this recipe includes pumpkin puree as I often give pumpkin puree to Dino when his tummy is upset. 

I really like this batch size as it's perfect for one dog and last several days.

This batch can easily be doubled to produce more dog treats.

How to make:

Step 1:  Gather and measure the ingredients.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2:  Using a food processor or electric mixer, add the egg, pumpkin puree and peanut butter and mix well to combine.  Slowly add the flour and mix again.  Note:  you could also mix the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl, it will just take longer.

Step 3:  If using a food processor, which is my favorite way to make this recipe, pour the mixture into a medium-sized bowl, and using your hands, create a ball of dough.

Step 4: This is a great dough to work with!

Roll out the dough on a piece of parchment paper and using a cookie cutter, cut out biscuit shapes.  My cookie cutter is about 5" x 2".  The size of your cookie cutter will determine the number of dog treats you'll get.  With my dog bone cookie cutter, I get twelve dog treats.

Step 5:  Place the newly created dog treats on the parchment-lined baking sheet making sure there is some distance between them.  These dog treats don't spread, but they will bake better is there is space between them.

Step 6:  Bake the dog treats for 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your biscuits.  They'll be firm.

My dog Dino loves these dog treats and behaves extremely well when he knows they are around.  For example, when I get ready to take him for a walk, he often runs around the house barking, which can be a huge delay.  

When I have one of these dog treats, he sits calmly while I attach his leash.  Hmmm....smart dog!

Recipe Tips:

  • This recipe is perfect for one dog.  Double the recipe to produce more biscuits.
  • You could probably substitute another nut butter for the peanut butter if it is safe for dogs.
  • No need to chill the dough.
  • This recipe works with gluten-free flour.
  • The size of your cookie cutter and biscuits will determine the baking time.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Would probably freeze well.
  • The nutrition information is based on twelve biscuits.

Ingredients
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/8 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/4 cup white whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Place the egg, pumpkin puree and peanut butter in the bowl of an electric mixer or food processor, and mix for about a minute. You could also mix by hand, but it is much easier for me using the electric mixer.

  3. Slowly add the flour to mix in until just combined.

  4. Roll the dough out on a piece of parchment paper (the easiest way). Roll to 1/4" thickness.

  5. Bake for about 15-20 minutes until lightly browned and slightly hardened. Baking time will depend on the size of your cookie cutters.

  6. Cool for about 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container. Freshness will vary - mine lasted about a week. For best results, store in the refrigerator.

    These are so cute! I had no idea certain treats had higher value to dogs but I can imagine a fresh homemade treat is at the top.

    That tree was so beautiful, thanks for sharing. I lost my first pup back in May and it was the hardest thing I've had to go through. I love that there is a place like that, where others can go and feel comfort from their loss.

      Hi Sarah,

      I am sorry to hear you lost your pup. It is so hard I know. It's a wonderful tree and I thought others would love it too.

      Happy Holidays!

    What an adorable and cute dog, Dino is a lovely name! Great field for Dino to explore around - dogs love big fields! I can’t believe there’s a Charlie Brown Xmas tree, that’s too awesome!

      Hi Rika,

      Thanks! It's a great tree and I thought this was perfect time to share it even thought the tree is up all year round. 🙂
