Peanut Butter Treats Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
- Oats – Either rolled oats or quick minute oats will work just fine.
The texture may be a little different between the two, but you’ll really only notice that when pulling them from the oven.
It’s not significant enough once the peanut butter dog treats have cooled. - Flour – Wheat flour can be used in place of unbleached all-purpose flour if needed, but the puppy seemed to prefer the ones made with all-purpose flour.
How to Make Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits
If you’ve ever rolled and cut-out sugar cookies, the process for making doggy treats is almost identical.
- Mix and roll the cookie dough.
Add the ingredients to your stand mixer in the order listed in the recipe card below. Then, roll the dough out onto a floured surface. - Cut and place on a baking sheet.
Using a cutter of your choice (I love the bone shaped cookie cutter!), cut out the peanut butter dog treats.
Then, arrange them in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
TIP: Be sure to space the peanut butter cookies for dogs out on the pan a little, because you’ll need to flip them over halfway through the baking time.
- Bake, cool, and watch your pup go crazy with anticipation!
While it’s perfectly fine to let the peanut butter dog biscuits cool on the baking sheet, feel free to transfer them to a wire cooling rack to save some counter space.
Peanut Butter Dog Treats FAQ
If you’ve got multiple canine companions, you can absolutely make a larger batch as long as there’s enough room in your mixer. For more than double, it would be best to make two separate doughs and just roll them out at the same time.
However, if you’re only feeding one pup, I suggest making a single batch of peanut butter dog biscuits at a time. Because this recipe doesn’t call for any added preservatives, the dog treats won’t keep fresh for more than a couple of weeks at room temperature.
Not at all! Your peanut butter treats will be perfectly safe at room temperature in a sealed container. However, I do recommend keeping them in a cool location during the warmer months, just to prolong their shelf life.
Yes, this is a freezer friendly recipe! To extend the shelf life even longer, just pop the dog treats into a zip top storage bag and freeze for up to 4 months.
Absolutely. If your pup prefers super crunchy biscuits, just add a couple of minutes to the baking time. Don’t leave them in there too long though, or they are likely to burn and/or become too dry.
Enjoy!

I know the recipes main ingredient but I was wondering if there is anything I can use instead of the peanut butter because my dog is very allergic to it? Any ideas will be greatly appreciated thank you in advance
Replace peanut butter with almond butter.
I have made this recipe a couple times for my 8yr old rescue yorkiedoodle. He loves them. I made them smaller in size for his size and I didn’t have a bone shaped cutter. I had a dolphin 🐬 so that’s what his bone treats were. I used natural p-nut butter and low fat milk. Thought I might try powdered milk and water but not sure if that would work. If someone has made it with powdered milk, I hope they will mention it. Thanks Slow Roasted Italian for a great in expensive doggie treat recipe.
