Peanut Butter Dog Treats are the perfect, wholesome homemade treat for your dog! Made with only four ingredients, these dog cookies are simple to make and loved by canines of all shapes and sizes.
My entire family has a soft spot for our Boston Terrier, Bailey.
From extra long snuggles, daily walks, to a cushy dog bed, to homemade dog treats–this is one puppy that lives a good life.
Our dog has always had a bit of a sensitive stomach, as many dogs (and humans) do. She is on a gluten-free, corn-free, dairy-free diet–which may sound horrible, but trust me, Bailey does not seem to be suffering.
Especially given that we make Homemade Dog Treats, or as my kids call them Dog Cookies, on a regular basis.
Ingredients for Homemade Dog Treats
These simple dog treats are made with just oats, banana, peanut butter, and egg–which are ingredients that are known to not only be safe for dogs to consume but actually good for them as well.
Plus these staple ingredients are ones we always have on hand and these peanut butter dog treats come together in minutes. So no excuse NOT to spoil our dog with homemade treats.
How to Make Homemade Dog Treats
- Mash the banana with the egg and peanut butter.
- Mix in the oats.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon batter out onto baking sheet, lined with silmat or parchment paper.
- Flatten slightly with a fork, like traditional peanut butter cookies.
- Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
- Let cookies cool completely on wire rack.
- Store dog cookies in an airtight container for 5 days, or in the fridge for 7 days.

Notes
Nutrition
I have been making this recipe for over a year now and IT IS STILL A HIT! My babies have definitely gained weight because I make the recipe times 4 and we give them way too many but they just love them SO much and how can you deny their sweet little faces!!!!! Jusy fyi, a ton of other factors play into their weight; for example, Maxi has Addison’s disease so he is always hungry due to taking steroids every day; Gumbo has allergies so there are not many treats we CAN give him for a long period of time; and we started giving them wet food because they have gotten older.
As long as you portion correctly per your Babies’ weight and do not spoil the crap out of your Babies like we do, they won’t gain weight solely due to this treat.
Sissy and Braxi gave this recipe a thumbs up ALSO!! (:
I have even snacked on many (;
Excellent Results and I added a little Full Spectrum Hemp oil for my old retriever.
Thanks for the help!

I made these today for my fur-baby and she absolutely loves them! Great recipe!
I love hearing that!
Can these cookies be rolled out and used with cookie cutters how long will the new cook time be do you think?
Hi Maria, you may need to add in a bit more oats to the mixture for the cookies to be rolled out and hold their shape, I have not experimented with this myself, but others have told me they have done it with success and same baking time.
What a great (yet easy to execute) recipe. These made for really good training treats. I am already on my second batch. My 3 month old golden retriever puppy thanks you, as do I!
I love hearing this Ishita! I am so glad your pup (and you enjoy!)
My dog loves these cookies. He is quite picky! He waits by the oven why they cook. I have made these over and over sometimes I leave out the banana altogether. They are neighborhood favorite❤️
I love hearing this Mary! So sweet! Give your pup some love from our family!
All 4 of my rescue Chihuahuas love this treat! Even though some of my elderly dogs don’t have many teeth left, these “cookies” are soft enough for them to eat. (I do break it up into little pieces for my oldest, toothless dog.). I love having a simple, healthy recipe for my fur-babies. Thank you!
Aw, you have some lucky pups! So glad they enjoyed this treat.
