HOMEMADE DOG TREATS INGREDIENTS

You will need:

  • 1 cup of peanut butter, smooth
  • 1 tablespoon of molasses
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 2 cups of whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon of baking powder

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS

Variations: We use peanut butter in this homemade dog treat recipe, but there are lots of variations you could try. These include pumpkin, banana, sweet potatoes, or baby food. There are lots of options.

Flour: We have listed whole wheat flour in the ingredients as it contains more nutritional value but if you don’t have it on hand, you can also use all-purpose flour.

HOW TO MAKE THIS HOMEMADE DOG TREATS RECIPE

PRO TIP: The best part of these is how well they freeze. Make a double batch of this homemade dog treats recipe so that you always have a supply of your own homemade dog treats on hand.

STEP ONE: Preheat your oven to 350°F.

STEP TWO: Add all ingredients to a large bowl.

STEP THREE: Blend on low in a stand mixer until well blended. The mixture should form a dough-like texture.

STEP FOUR: Once well mixed, put the dough between two sheets of parchment paper or on a floured surface and using a rolling pin, roll to approximately ¼ inch in thickness.

STEP FIVE: Use a cute cookie cutter or glass to cut out biscuits.

PRO TIP: We used a darling bone-shaped cookie cutter for our puppy treats. But you can use a traditional circle cookie cutter or a glass. If you have other cookie cutters in cute shapes, you could use those as well.

STEP SIX: Place in oven on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper and bake for approximately 17 minutes. Cool on a cooling rack before serving them to your best friend.

PRO TIP: For a more senior dog whose teeth are not what they used to be, you can break the cookies into smaller pieces or put them in their bowl with a little water to soften them up.

    I have 5 small dogs, between 5 lbs and 13 lbs. ages 16, 15, 14, 6, and 1 years old. They loved these treats. They get a treat at bed time. Now they are begging to go to bed early just for their treat. I am happy because I know exactly what is in their treat. Thank you for this recipe

    Can you use a dog treat maker instead of putting them on the oven?
    It’s like a waffle iron except it looks like dog bones.
