Ingredients:

  • 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter (no xylitol or sugar!)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour) or we also recommend coconut four or quinoa flour for extra nutritional benefits

Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

      3. Stir in flour and water (or broth) until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour by the tablespoon until it becomes manageable.

      8. Let the treats cool completely on a wire rack before serving to your pup.

Tips:

  • Store leftover treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • For a chewier treat, bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Get creative with the shapes! Use heart-shaped cutters, bone shapes, or even your pup's initials.
  • Add a touch of cinnamon or pumpkin spice for a seasonal twist.
