Makes

18 Dog Treats

Ingredients

  • 1 cup natural peanut butter (unsalted, no xylitol)

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour for sensitive tummies)

  • 1 large egg

  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce

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

How To Make

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

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, egg, and applesauce until smooth.

  3. Gradually stir in flour until a dough forms.

  4. Add water one tablespoon at a time if the dough feels too dry.

  5. Roll out dough to about ¼-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.

  6. Cut into bone shapes (or any shape you like).

  7. Place on prepared baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.

  8. Allow treats to cool completely before serving. They will firm up as they cool.

How To Store

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

  • Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks for extended freshness.

  • Freeze for up to 3 months in a sealed freezer-safe container.

Serving Sizes

  • Small dogs (under 20 lbs): ½ to 1 small cookie

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

  • Large dogs (50+ lbs): 2–3 cookies

Always serve treats in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Summary
