My fur babies are part of the family, so it’s only fair that once I started learning to bake I learned to make treats for them, too! I made these easy peanut butter dog treats with just 4 simple ingredients, and my dogs love them! They’re crunchy, wholesome, and flavorful. I feel good knowing all the ingredients in the snacks I give my dogs.
My peanut butter dog treats are made with whole wheat flour, peanut butter, coconut oil, and baking powder– that’s it! They’re super simple to mix together, last for quite a while, freeze beautifully, and taste great, too! I’ll never buy store-bought treats again!
What’s in this Peanut Butter Dog Treats Recipe?
- Whole Wheat Flour: A wholesome, healthy option for these treats. If you want to make these treats wheat-free, you can use rice flour or coconut flour as a replacement. These alternate flours will work but might change the consistency a bit.
- Peanut Butter: An excellent source of healthy fats, vitamins B and E, and niacin. If your dog’s not a fan of peanut butter (or is allergic), pumpkin or sweet potato puree (make sure it has no added sugar or spices) is a great alternative.
- Coconut Oil: A healthy fat that can improve digestion and make your dog’s coat extra shiny!
- Baking Powder: Helps these treats bake up light and crispy.

How to Store
Store peanut butter dog treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw at room temperature before serving.
Tips for Success
- Check your peanut butter ingredients list carefully. Many peanut butters now contain Xylitol, an artificial sweetener that is toxic to dogs!
- I used an apple corer as my cookie cutter. Depending on the size you want, you can use any cookie cutter or even a pizza cutter to make squares.
- Every ingredient in this recipe is safe for human consumption. Without sugar, these treats may not be as tasty to you as they are to your fur baby, but you can eat them too. In fact, little ones may enjoy them as a healthy snack option.
- My rule in life is always moderation. I recommend starting with only 1 treat to see how your dog tolerates it or if they may have any adverse reactions (possibly to wheat flour). If there are no reactions, you can give your dog 2-5 treats a day, keeping in mind that the treats are about 50 calories each if made the same size as pictured.
