• 1 cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)

• 2 cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour for gluten-free option)

• 1 large egg

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

2. Mix peanut butter and egg in a large bowl until smooth.

3. Add flour and water gradually, mixing until a firm dough forms. If the dough feels dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time.

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

5. Cut into shapes using a bone-shaped cookie cutter (or any shape you like).

6. Place on baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and firm.

7. Cool completely before serving to your pup.
