Dog Treats Made with Almond Flour

Hi there, dog moms! 💛 I’m Rachel , and today I want to let you in on a little secret that changed treat time in our home forever: dog treats made with almond flour 

.

It all started when my pup Maple began scratching more than usual, and our vet suggested trying a grain-free diet. That meant her usual oat-based biscuits were out. I didn’t want to give up homemade treats — I love baking for her, and she knows exactly when the oven beeps 😄 — so I went on a mission to find a healthy grain-free flour.

That’s when I discovered almond flour. Nutty, protein-rich, and super easy to bake with. I gave it a try… and let me tell you, Maple devoured her first almond flour biscuit and sat by the counter asking for more.

All you need are a few simple, dog-safe ingredients to get started:

• 1 cup almond flour – grain-free, gluten-free, and packed with healthy fats
  
  

• 1 egg – for structure and protein
  
  

• 2 tablespoons unsweetened peanut butter – make sure it’s xylitol-free!
  
  

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil – adds healthy fats and makes the dough smooth

• Optional: pinch of cinnamon or turmeric for flavor and health benefits

These almond flour dog treats aren’t just tasty — they’re full of health perks:

• Almond flour – rich in Vitamin E, magnesium, and healthy fats
  
  

• Peanut butter – high in protein, supports energy and coat health
  
  

• Eggs – a clean source of protein and amino acids
  
  

• Coconut oil – supports digestion, skin, and coat shine

Want to make these treats your own? Try these add-ins:

• Grated carrots or sweet potato – adds fiber and a hint of sweetness
  
  

• A dash of turmeric – helps with inflammation (plus it’s bright and pretty!)
  
  

• Crushed blueberries or apple bits – for a fruity twist (no seeds, please!)
  
  

• Switch peanut butter for pumpkin puree – especially great for sensitive tummies

Baking has always been our little ritual. Maple knows the second I grab her cookie cutters, it’s her time. She lies by my feet while I mix the dough, and when the treats are baking, she’ll wait by the oven and wag her tail when she smells them cooking.

It’s more than just food — it’s a way we connect . A reminder that even the small moments matter.

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week .

• Refrigerator: Extend freshness to 2 weeks .

• Freezer: Freeze extras for up to 2 months — just thaw a few overnight or microwave for 10 seconds.

👉 Always check ingredients are dog-safe (no xylitol, salt, or added sugars).

• Dough too sticky? Add more almond flour 1 tablespoon at a time.

• Too dry or crumbly? Mix in a splash of water or more coconut oil.

• Treats too soft after baking? Pop them back in for 2–3 minutes to crisp.

• Want crunchier treats? Let them cool in the oven with the door slightly open.

Making these almond flour dog treats has become such a special part of my routine with Maple. I know exactly what’s going into her body, and I get to create moments of joy with her — one crunchy, tail-wagging bite at a time.

If your pup is on a grain-free diet, has allergies, or you’re just looking for a cleaner alternative to store-bought biscuits, I highly recommend trying this recipe. It’s easy, customizable, and made with so much love. 💕
