Nothing makes my pups happier than the scent of fresh peanut butter treats baking in the oven. As a long-time dog owner, I\u2019ve found that homemade dog treats for dogs are more than just a fun kitchen project \u2013 they\u2019re a way to ensure my furry friends get healthy, wholesome snacks. Not only are DIY treats easy to make, but they are so much more affordable than store-bought treats and dogs LOVE them! My Bichon, Siew B, practically dances around the kitchen whenever I pull out the peanut butter jar. Seeing his excitement convinced me to ditch store-bought biscuits and start baking my own peanut butter and oat dog treats at home.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to make homemade dog treats with peanut butter and oats<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

Making peanut butter oat treats at home is straightforward and rewarding. You control exactly what goes into these biscuits, so you know they\u2019re free of unwanted additives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For this recipe, you\u2019ll need about 2 cups of oats, 2 ripe bananas (or about \u2154 cup of unsweetened applesauce as an alternative), and \u00bd cup of natural peanut butter. This simple combination creates a nutritious dough that bakes into crunchy cookies your dog will adore. Follow these steps to whip up a batch of homemade dog treats:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Preheat and Prep:<\/b> Preheat your oven to <\/span>150\u00b0C (300\u00b0F)<\/b>. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or a reusable silicone baking mat) to prevent sticking.<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Mix the Dough:<\/b> Grind the oats into a fine flour using a blender or food processor (alternatively, use store-bought oat flour). In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas and mix them with the peanut butter until smooth. Add in the ground oats and stir well to form a thick, sticky dough. (If you opted for applesauce instead of banana, mix it with peanut butter, then combine with the oats. If the dough feels too wet or sticky, sprinkle in a bit more oat flour or whole wheat flour).<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Roll and Cut:<\/b> Lightly flour a surface with oats or whole wheat flour. Turn out the dough and roll it to about 1 cm (approximately \u00bc – \u2153 inch) thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes for your treats. I love using small bone or heart-shaped cutters, but even cutting the dough into bite-sized squares with a knife works just as well. Gather any dough scraps, re-roll them, and continue cutting until all the dough is used.<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Bake:<\/b> Place the cut-out treats on your prepared baking sheet. Bake for about <\/span>25-30 minutes<\/b>, or until the treats are <\/span>puffed and golden-brown on the bottom<\/b>. They may still feel slightly soft when hot, but they will firm up as they cool into a nice crunchy texture.<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Cool and Store:<\/b> Remove the treats from the oven and let them cool completely on a rack. Make sure they are fully cooled before letting your dog taste-test. For storage, keep the treats in an airtight container. They will last about one week at room temperature or up to two weeks in the fridge. For longer storage, you can freeze the treats for up to 2\u20133 months \u2013 my Siew B actually enjoys them straight from the freezer on hot days!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
