    What a sweet and lovable face! It was no wonder why I wanted to make her these easy apple peanut butter dog biscuits. She literally goes cuckoo for cocoa puffs over these! These biscuits are safe for all her furry friends out there!

    Easy to make, nutritious, and perfect for all sizes of doggos out there!

    Ingredients

    These dog biscuits are super easy to make and contain super healthy ingredients that are safe for your dog to eat. In addition, the flavor is amazing too (yes, we can actually eat these treats too!).

    • Whole wheat flour: Is safe for dogs and most healthiest. However, if your pup has a gluten allergy, then I recommend using gluten free flour. 
    • Apple: I used a Honey crisp apple, but any apple is safe to use. Applesauce may be used as well.
    • Peanut butter: creamy is the best option for these treats.

    The evolution of Ruby

    Ruby came to me at the perfect time of my life. We had just lost our Silver lab Bella in October 2017 and our golden retriever Lucy in July of 2018. Too close if you ask me. My heart was super heavy and I felt that something was just missing. My husband claimed that " We are never getting another dog". Well...... Ruby came in October of 2018. All 8 lbs of her charcoal lab self. She made my heart whole again.

    Expert tips and tricks

    • Score the dog treats down the center before baking so it makes it easier to break the treat up for dogs with special needs, smaller breeds, or overweight dogs
    • Measuring ingredients is important for the success on these dog treats
    • If you want a more crispy treat, leave treats in the oven for an additional 30 minutes with oven off and door cracked.
    • Use all sorts of different cookie cutter shapes for your treats.

    How to make the apple peanut butter dog treats

    These biscuits are super easy to make and this recipe makes about 3 oz of biscuits.

    First, in a large bowl, add your whole wheat flour, grated apple, oil, eggs, peanut butter  baking soda and cinnamon. Mix with an electric mixer until well combined. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Second, roll out dough on a floured flat surface. You will have to knead a little bit because the dough will be a little sticky. Once it is kneaded, roll it out with rolling pin and cut out bone shapes with a dog bone cookie cutter. Cut out shapes and place on prepared baking sheets.

    Lastly, bake bones for 20 minutes. Once completely cooled you can store them in an airtight container in fridge for up to 2 months. In a deep freezer for up to 8 months.

    FAQ's

    Can I use all-purpose flour in the dog biscuits?

    Yes, although it may be safe for the dogs, there is still gluten in the AP flour. If you know your dog is sensitive to gluten, avoid.

    What do bakers use as the main ingredient in dog treats?

    Flour is the main ingredient in dog treats. See this link for more info.

    Welcome

    About me Carrie Blaser

    Hi my name is Carrie. I am just a sassy girl from the midwest that has a sweet tooth for any type of dessert. I grew up in the kitchen and remember making my sister scrambled eggs at 8 years old. But I really fell in love with baking when I made my first Betty Crocker cake out of the box. I like to think that I have come a long way since then!
