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 to 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 a wire rack.
- Store dog cookies in an airtight container for 5 days, or in the fridge for 7 days.
I would love to hear how you spoil your dog with these Peanut Butter Oatmeal Dog Cookies! And I won't judge if you sneak one for yourself!

Okay, I added shredded carrots. About a half cup. And I increased the peanut butter. Next batch will get pumpkin about a half aa cup and I'll increase the oats. That will be on site so i don't know how much yet. All i know is puddin will love them. I'm been making her just pumpkin and peanut butter treats. I was going to add the carrots to them but I added flaxseed instead. That works for her too. She does like it in her treats. We leave home everyday for long walks. She tells me when she's good for a treat. My pocket is emptied before i get back to the car. I leave some in the glove compartment because of the pocket being emptied. We do three miles a day so that's a lot of treats. Thanks for this one.

The Boss and Rosie love the dog cookies!!! I made a few modifications because they like crunchy treats and my dough was wet. I tripled the recipe, added a cup of ground oats (ground oats in food processor until fine like flour), and after cooking for 10 minutes at 350F I turned oven to 285F and cooked for another 30 minutes.

What kind of oats do you use? Thank you
Kristen Chidsey
Either quick cooking or regular oats work for this recipe.

I doctored the recipe a bit too. My boy can't have eggs so I used oatmeal, ground oatmeal (as someone else suggested) peanut butter, bananas, apple sauce, and a small bit of oil. I baked them much longer to get them crispy and they're great. My dog is allergic to almost everything so it's great to find a healthy, inexpensive alternative treat for him. I did 4x what the recipe called for. I will freeze them up. Great simple dog cookie.

Awesome, going to make for our miniature Pinscher/Pug's 16th Birthday.

Happy Birthday to your fur baby!

made these. They took 10 min to make, are super simple, but only make 12 and they are soft-> good for dogs with bad or missing teeth. But I prefer crunchier treats for my dogs. These are certainly nutritious. It would be very simple to double the recipe.

I baked for 15 minutes and the outside was crunchy after cooling
