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!

This recipe looks perfect for my two senior dogs with food sensitivities. Are they soft treats? If not, can they be made soft?
Kristen Chidsey
They are on the softer side, Juli 🙂

My dog loves them. They are very easy to make. And are a great way to use frozen, over ripe bananas.
David
Very easy to make and my dogs love them. I'm going to make a bigger batch next time and test if they freeze well then I can thaw a few days supply when I need to.
Kristen Chidsey
Hi David! I am happy to hear your dogs enjoyed. I have frozen these treats many times with success. Let them cool completely and then store in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to 3 months in the freezer. Defrost at room temperature or in the refrigerator before giving them to your dogs.

I added about 1/4 shredded carrots and they turned out great! My friend has an elderly dog that needed soft treats, but my puppy loves them too!
Kristen Chidsey
What a great idea! So happy your puppy loves them!!

Hi so sometimes I am out of bananas and I was wondering what can be a replacement for the bananas in this recipe
Kristen Chidsey
You can use 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce.

can these treats be frozen?

Does it have to be an overripe banana, or would a regular ripe one work?
Kristen Chidsey
As long as it is ripe enough to smash easily, it will be perfect!
