Dogs drool over these Peanut Butter Oat Dog Treats! You won't believe how easy they are to make, and you only need three ingredients. So much better than store-bought!
Believe me when I say- your dog will love these treats! And when you see how easy they are to make, you won't go back to store bought again.
And best of all, you probably already have the ingredients in your cupboard.
Peanut Butter Oat Dog Treat Ingredients
For peanut butter oat dog treats, you need the following ingredients:
- Applesauce- Be sure it'sunsweetened.
- Peanut Butter- Any smooth peanut butter will work.
- Oat Flour– Oat flour is sold in stores, but it’s also super easy to make at home. Simply blend old-fashioned oats in a high-speed blender until the oats become a fine powder (about 30 seconds to a minute). Store your oat flour in an air-tight container for up to three months.
How to make Peanut Butter Oat Dog Treats
As I said, these are so easy to make. You simply mix the dough, roll it out, cut out shapes, and bake. I use these dog treat cookie cutters, but any cookie cutter will work.
It's that easy!
Full instructions are in the recipe box down below.
Tips and Storage
- Silicone baking matswork great for this recipe and for most cookie recipes. They are worth the investment as you can use them over and over again instead of buying parchment paper.
- I find it easier to mix the oat flour in by hand, although a large spoon works too if you prefer not to get your hands messy. You can also use the paddle attachment of a stand mixer.
- Store your dog treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for 2 weeks. These freeze well for up to 3 months.
Don't forget to treat yourself too!

Peanut Butter Oat Dog Treats
Dogs drool over these Peanut Butter Oat Dog Treats! You won't believe how easy they are to make, and you only need three ingredients. So much better than store-bought!
Prep Time15 minutes mins
Cook Time30 minutes mins
Total Time45 minutes mins
Servings: 15 medium size treats
Calories: 120kcal
Author: Crystal Yentzen
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup applesauce unsweetened
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 2 cups oat flour* (ground oats)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325° F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, mix the applesauce sauce and peanut butter until thoroughly combined using a large spoon or spatula.
Mix in the oat flour ½ cup at a time, stirring until combined (you can also mix with your hands), and it forms a slightly sticky ball. If you are using natural peanut butter (drippy), you may need to add a bit more oat flour.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface ( I used oat flour) and knead it into a ball. Roll it out until almost ½ inch thick. Using your cookie cutter (dipped in oat flour), cut out shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Collect the scraps, knead lightly, roll out again, and cut more dog treats. Repeat until you've used all the dough.
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for two weeks. These freeze well for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Oat Flour– Oat flour is sold in stores, but it’s also super easy to make at home. Simply blend old-fashioned oats in a high-speed blender until the oats become a fine powder (about 30 seconds to a minute). Store your oat flour in an air-tight container for up to three months
- I find it easier to mix the oat flour in by hand. You can also use the paddle attachment of a stand mixer.
- For crunchier dog treats, bake for 10-15 minutes more.

Do these treats need refrigerated. I made a different recepie and my dog loved but they only kept a week and then our dog wouldn't tough them. I had them in a sealed contained but not in refrigerator.

I need help ! When I go to roll them out my dough won’t stick together very well it’s making them crumble?
Reply
Crystal Yentzen says
It sounds like your dough is a bit too dry. I would add a bit more applesauce and try to roll it out again. Are you measuring your oat flour correctly? For next time be sure to spoon your flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a butter knife. If you scoop your measuring cup into the flour, it's likely that you will get too much flour. I hope this helps!

Crystal, these are fantastic our dog loves them and she is about to go bring some to her neighbors. Love that they are very healthy, limited ingredient, vegan option. One suggestion is to grind a little extra oats for the flour as it will be needed when rolling - at least for an amateur like me as it took longer than 15 minutes to prepare :). I tried them too and they are not at all bad! PS I printed your web address on the baggies - credit is well earned. Thanks again for posting this - and warmest wishes to you and your family.

My dog can be finicky about her food. I have now made these twice and she will come when the container is opened and beg for them. I love that there are only 3 simple healthy ingredients. Very easy to make and store.
Thank you for this recipe.Reply

I have a silicon mat for dog treats. we have 3 dogs and are training them all so we need a lot of treats. My mat makes treats about 1cm by 1cm by 1cm or so - maybe sliiightly smaller. Should I still bake for 30 minutes? It makes about 250 treats per the size of a normal cookie tray.

Crystal Yentzen says
Hi Alysha. I've never baked treats that small, so I can't say for sure how long they will need. I would start with 5-10 minutes. Keep an Eye on them so they don't burn. They're ready when they start to firm up. Let me know how they turn out!

I just made these for both my pooches tonight, my 11-year-old Shepherd/Boxer and my 15-year-old Maltipoo.
THEY LOVED THEM!
They hardly ever like the same treats but they both agreed that these were delicious.

This recipe is Wonderful! I have 2 chiweenies & a lab puppy, they love them & I love them cause they were so easy, & healthy for them. I even froze some for the pup (that chews through everything) to help with his teething, I put the cut outs in between parchment paper & put in the freezer he loves them!
Thank you so much!Reply

You are welcome! I'm so happy you like the recipe. My husky loves them too!

I have made these several times and my 2 golden retrievers love them! I have made them to give as gifts for my dog loving friends as well. One trick that makes rolling out really easy and non-stick, is rolling the dough out between 2 pieces of wax paper, adjusting the wax paper if it gets wrinkled.
Thanks for this recipe.Reply
Crystal Yentzen says
That's a great tip! I'm so happy your babies love them as much as mine!

Can you use natural peanut butter?

Crystal Yentzen says
Yes, but you may need to add more oat flour if your peanut butter is extra drippy. You should be able to roll the dough into a ball with your hands. Let me know how they turn out!
