Description
Crunchy, bite-sized peanut butter dog training treats made with natural ingredients. Perfect for rewarding good behavior or training sessions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened, unsalted, xylitol-free)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana
- 1/4 cup water (more as needed)
- 1 ½ cups oat flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (optional)
- Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Lightly grease silicone mold and place on baking tray.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together peanut butter, egg, and applesauce or banana until smooth.
- Add oat flour, whole wheat flour, and cinnamon. Gradually add water and mix until dough is firm but pliable.
- Press dough firmly into silicone mold cavities. Scrape off excess dough with a spatula or flat edge.
- Bake for 22–30 minutes until golden and firm.
- Optional: Turn off oven and leave tray inside for 30–60 minutes to dry out for extra crunch.
- Allow treats to cool completely before removing from mold.
- Store in airtight container at room temperature, in fridge, or freeze for long-term use.
Notes
- Ensure peanut butter is xylitol-free for dog safety.
- If dough is too sticky, add more flour; if too dry, add more water or applesauce.
- To prevent sticking, cool treats fully before removing from mold.
- Use different molds or flavors to create seasonal variations.
