Pamper your pets with some homemade dog treats!
We are those crazy dog people…you know the ones. We seriously love our dogs and consider them part of the family.
We live right by a cute little doggie boutique that sells homemade treats, but they can really be quite pricey. I knew I could make my own much cheaper.
I LOVE the way these turned out and I plan on making them on a regular basis. At least I’ll know exactly what they’re eating, and they jump up and down for them so I’m pretty sure that means they’re yummy!
Here’s are newest puppy…Sherlock. We adopted him from a shelter. He’s so amazing I can’t even express it with words. So, we spoil him with lots of hugs, walks, car rides and treats.
These smell just like peanut butter cookies as you bake them. My boys always think I’m making them something…ha!
Homemade Peanut Butter Dog Treat Recipe
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup reduced fat milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup peanut butter {smooth}
- 2 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of baking soda
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
Whisk the milk, one egg and peanut butter together in a large bowl.
Add the flour and baking soda to create a lovely dough. You may need to use your hands to work in all the flour.
Flour a surface to roll out your dough. Cut out shapes like dogs, bones or make mini circle peanut butter cookies for small dogs. 1/4” thickness is awesome…but a little thicker works.
Make a quick egg wash by whisking together one egg and a couple teaspoons of water. Brush a thin coat on your dog treats before putting them in the oven.
I used an Airbake Insulated Cookie Sheet and parchment paper while baking. {These are two of my favorite things!} They equal perfect baking and no mess…that works!
Bake 15 minutes on one side and flip to bake 10 more minutes on the other side. {Don’t forget to brush on egg wash before baking!}
Remove and cool.
Store them in an airtight container for a week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Now you have no excuse for not making homemade treats for your furry friends. They’re super easy and bake fast!
Have you ever made your own dog treats?
