Share a quick and easy homemade dog treat recipe that your pup will love! All you have to do is make the dough, cut it into the shape you like and bake it.
Hello friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Back to school this week and I’ve started beta testing the nutrition guide. I’ll be posting more details on this next week, so stay tuned!
For today, let’s talk about dog treats. I know – kind of random for a fitness blog – but my top posts are about guinea pigs, baby food, and potty training, so here we are haha.
Also, Maisey loves them so much and insisted I share the word about you with furry friends out there.
I made these dog treats on a whim, using some ingredients we always have on hand. Maisey loves bits of healthy human food, and let’s just say, she’s INTO it. He loves plain chicken, egg, peppers, natural peanut butter and watermelon. She is also a big fan of the bully sticks from Thrive Market. She was also a big fan of these homemade dog treats! They are so much better than boxed dog biscuits. Let me know if your pets try them, and as always, consult your vet before changing their diet.
Ingredients for Homemade Dog Treat Recipe:
Here are the ingredients to have on hand for these peanut butter treats:
Natural peanut butter (make sure the only ingredients are peanuts and salt, no weird oils or sweeteners), which gives them some protein and a nutty flavor
Pumpkin puree (or even sweet potato puree) – this is a great source of fiber
Garbanzo bean flour (you can also use whole wheat flour)
Eggs
Instant oatmeal (I would use instant instead of rolled oats)
and all-purpose flour to roll the dough
and finally!!
You can also cut them with a bone-shaped cookie cutter 🙂
You can always adjust the cooking time depending on how crispy you would like it to be. They can also be stored in the freezer for later.
Here’s the quick recipe for healthy dog treats – it’s super easy!

Homemade Dog Treats (Quick and Healthy!)
This is a quick recipe your furry friend will love! I used garbanzo bean flour (they love chickpeas!), but feel free to use whole wheat instead.
1 cup garbanzo bean flour (you can use whole wheat)
3 eggs (reserve 1 for the egg wash)
1/4 fl pumpkin puree
1/2 fl peanut butter (check ingredients for peanuts and salt only)
1/2 fl quick-cooking oats
All purpose flour for rolling pin
Choice cookie cutters
Preheat the oven to 325 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine two of the eggs, peanut butter, pumpkin, garbanzo bean flour (or wheat flour), and oatmeal. Mix until a dough forms. Add more garbanzo bean flour or a little all-purpose flour to the dough if needed.
Sprinkle some all-purpose flour on a clean surface and add the dough. It will be somewhat sticky, so use the flour to coat the outside of the dough as you roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes and gently place them on the baking sheet.
Mix the rest of the dough, roll and repeat.
Make the egg wash by whisking the remaining egg and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Use a pastry brush to paint the egg wash on top of each dog treat.
Put it in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, until firm. Allow to cool completely before storing at room temperature or in the refrigerator in a sealed container.
Have you ever tried a homemade dog cookie recipe? What is the food that always makes your dog go crazy? I never eat chicken without thinking about Bella.
