Peanut Butter Dog Treats
Bake Peanut Butter Dog Treats with a few REAL food ingredients. Both you and your fur baby will love this easy-to-make recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (use an all-natural, xylitol-free variety)
- 1 large egg
- 2/3 cup shredded carrot (about 1 large carrot)
- 1/3 cup quick oats
- 2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the peanut butter and egg until smooth.
- Add Carrots and Oats: Stir in the shredded carrots and oats until evenly distributed.
- Form the Dough: Add the flour and baking powder in alternating additions with the milk. Mix until a thick dough forms. It will be slightly sticky but should hold together when pressed.
- Roll and Cut: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll out to ¼-inch thickness. Cut into shapes using a small cookie cutter or knife.
- Bake and Flip: Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Flip the cookies and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Cool Completely: Allow the treats to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.

Notes
Storage: Store fully cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Freezing: Freeze baked treats in a zip-top freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
Make-Ahead Tips: You can refrigerate the dough (wrapped tightly) for up to 24 hours before rolling and baking.
Safety Tip: Always double-check that your peanut butter does not contain xylitol — it’s toxic to dogs.
