Makes

18 Dog Treats

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce or 1 finely grated apple

  • ½ cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)

  • 1 egg

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour)

  • ¼ cup rolled oats (optional for texture)

  • 2–4 tablespoons water (if needed for dough consistency)

How To Make

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Mix wet ingredients. In a bowl, combine applesauce (or grated apple), peanut butter, and egg until smooth.

  3. Add dry ingredients. Stir in whole wheat flour and oats until a dough forms.

  4. Adjust the dough. If it feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until workable.

  5. Roll the dough to about ¼ inch thick on a lightly floured surface.

  6. Cut into shapes using a bone-shaped cookie cutter.

  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden and firm.

  8. Cool completely before serving to your dog.

How To Store

  • Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

  • Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks for longer freshness.

  • Freeze in a sealed bag for up to 3 months and thaw as needed.

  • Ensure treats are completely cooled before storing to prevent moisture buildup.

Serving Sizes

  • Small dogs (under 20 lbs): ½–1 small treat

  • Medium dogs (20–50 lbs): 1–2 treats

  • Large dogs (50+ lbs): 2–3 treats

Treats should make up no more than 10% of a dog’s daily diet.
