Quick & Easy Apple, Peanut Butter & Oat Dog Treats

Last updated on April 2, 2022 By Puppy Leaks 17 Comments

Apple & Peanut Butter Dog Treats

Looking for a nice & simple dog treat recipe to make? These quick & easy apple, peanut butter & oat dog treats are a favorite of mine. They’re easy to prepare and quick to bake.

And since my dog Laika is a fan of anything with peanut butter they get a big seal of approval from her.

Apple Peanut Butter & Oat Dog Treat Recipe

Apple, Peanut Butter & Oat Dog Treats

Apple, Peanut Butter & Oat Homemade Dog Treats

Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned oats (aka rolled oats)
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1 egg
  • 2 apples (I used small Gala apples)

If you use chunky peanut butter rather than creamy you may need to add more moisture when making the dough. If your dough ends up extra crumbly just add 1 tsp of water at a time until you can roll it as dough out on a flat surface.

And remember to check that your peanut butter does NOT contain xylitol (an artificial sweetener that can be fatal to dogs).

Apple Peanut Butter & Oat Dog Treat Recipe

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300 F.
  2. Peel, core and grate 2 apples.
  3. Mix together the oats, flour, peanut butter, egg, & apples until well combined.
  4. Roll out your dough on a flat surface, until the dough is approximately 1/2 inch thick.
  5. Use cookie cutters to cut out your favorite shapes.
  6. Place the treats onto your baking sheet & cook for 15 minutes.

This recipe will make approximately 36 1″ diameter dog treats.

If you don’t have cookie cutters you can use a knife to cut out some fun shapes, or you can make some some cookie cutters of your own using soda cans. I prefer using the top of a shot glass to make bite size treats; just be careful not to push down too hard.

Storage Recommendations

These dog treats will keep 2-3 days in a sealed container (due to the storage life of apples), and another 4-5 days in the fridge. I usually keep half of the treats in the fridge and freeze the rest for later.

If you want dog treats that will last longer than a couple of days at room temperature you can simply omit the apples and still end up with a yummy peanut butter flavored dog treat.

      They’re not bad, but I’m more partial to my peanut butter & flour recipe as far as my own taste is concerned 🙂

    I was not successful with this recipe. I had to add a lot more flour just to get something that resembled a dough that I could roll out. I’m not sure where I went wrong. My dog seems to like them, but after this batch is gone, I will go back to the original recipe. That worked perfectly every time.

      Sorry to hear that. I’ve found that the apples themselves make a big difference — some seem to have a lot more moisture than others which can impact the amount of flour. (I should have specified in the recipe that I used small gala apples)

    Could one use applesauce instead of whole apples in order to get more moisture? It would also make it easier and much less time consuming. Just a thought…… ????

        I subbed apple sauce. The dough was really sticky because of moisture. I added more oatmeal, and some flour to get consistancy I needed to roll out. They are in oven now, so I will see if my piglet will enjoy. The other is very finicky, so I will see.

    Just made these, my pup licked the floor for a while after finishing his first cookie. Guess he liked them. ;). I made a mess of them due to..I doubled the recipe, used applesauce instead of apples, and got a very moist dough. Had to add more flour, oats and peanut butter. Still to moist to roll, so I Dropped them using a large spoon, then flattened them out with a spatula and baked 20-25 mins. Ended up with a crisp on the outside, soft inside. As said, my pup loves them.

      I just pressed mine onto a small baking sheet and scored them into small squares before baking. Then just break them apart after they cool. Also used the whole apple except the core after all we eat the peeling!!
