Description
These homemade peanut butter dog treats are a healthy and delicious snack for your furry friend!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1⅓ cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for rolling)
- ½ cup quick oats
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter (IMPORTANT that it is xylitol-free)
- ½ cup strawberries (5–6 strawberries, finely diced)
- 1 mashed banana
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, egg, peanut butter, diced strawberries, and mashed banana.
- Mix until everything is fully incorporated and a dough forms. A Danish dough whisk works well, but a sturdy spoon also works. If needed, mix with clean hands to incorporate any dry flour.
- If the dough feels sticky, refrigerate it for 20-30 minutes. This step is optional but makes the dough easier to roll.
- Lightly flour a work surface with 1 tablespoon of flour. Place the dough on top and sprinkle another 1 tablespoon of flour over the dough.
- Roll the dough to ½-inch thickness.
- Cut shapes using a cookie cutter. Dip the cutter in flour if the dough sticks.
- Place the treats on the prepared baking sheet. These dog treats without sugar will not spread, so they can be placed fairly close together as long as they are not touching.
- Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until the treats are firm and lightly golden on the bottom.
- Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store the treats in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Always ensure that peanut butter does not contain xylitol, as it is toxic to dogs.
