Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce

  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)

  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour)

  • 1 egg

  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

How To Make

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Mix wet ingredients in a bowl: applesauce, peanut butter, and egg until smooth.

  3. Add dry ingredients by gradually mixing in the flour and cinnamon until a soft dough forms.

  4. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick.

  5. Cut shapes using bone-shaped cookie cutters.

  6. Place on baking sheet leaving small gaps between treats.

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

  8. Cool completely before serving to your dog.

How To Store

  • Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

  • Refrigerator: Keeps fresh for 2 weeks in a sealed container.

  • Freezer: Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw before serving.

Allow treats to cool completely before storing to prevent moisture buildup.

Serving Sizes

  • Small dogs (under 20 lbs): 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 your dog’s daily calories.

Summary
