When my dog Michael was diagnosed with a mild peanut sensitivity, I thought our treat-baking days were over. Peanut butter was in everything. Every “simple” recipe I found had it. Every cute Pinterest idea had it. Every “healthy treat guide” said it was their #1 ingredient.



But here’s the truth I wish someone had told me earlier:

You can make delicious, safe, wholesome dog biscuits with ZERO peanut butter — and they taste (and smell) just as amazing.


This entire guide is built exactly for that:
✔ allergy-friendly
✔ easy to customize
✔ no processed nut butters
✔ budget-friendly
✔ made with whole-food ingredients


And best of all?
Michael absolutely loves them.

Why Choose Dog Biscuit Recipes No Peanut Butter?

Peanut butter has become the “default” ingredient in dog treats — but not every pup can have it.



Some dogs have:

  • peanut allergies

  • sensitive stomachs

  • yeast flare-ups

  • intolerance to fats

  • reactions to added salt or sugars

  • issues with processed nut spreads


And even when a dog can have peanut butter, many store-bought jars contain:

❌ added sugar
❌ unnecessary salt
❌ preservatives
❌ artificial flavors
❌ or worse — hidden xylitol, which is deadly to dogs


That’s why peanut-free recipes matter.


These dog biscuit recipes no peanut butter use real food — bananas, oats, apples, yogurt, pumpkin — the kind of ingredients you actually feel GOOD giving your dog.

Pro Tips for Success

Use unsweetened applesauce only
Artificial sweeteners = dangerous.


 Store properly

  • room temp: 5–7 days

  • fridge: 10 days

  • freezer: 2 months


 Cool fully before storingWarm biscuits create moisture → mold risk.


 Make tiny bites for training
Smaller = more repetitions without overfeeding.


 Add veggies for picky eaters
Carrot + apple is a universal favorite.

✔ If dough is too wet: add flour
If dough is too dry: add applesauce
