Why Make Homemade Dog Treats?
While store-bought treats are convenient, many are packed with preservatives, artificial flavors, and mystery ingredients. Making your own dog biscuits gives you complete control over what your pup eats and allows you to tailor treats to their specific needs or sensitivities.
Homemade treats are also a bonding experience. Whether your dog waits patiently by your side or supervises every step from the kitchen floor, it’s a fun and meaningful way to show them just how loved they are.
Ingredients for Peanut Butter and Yogurt Glazed Dog Biscuits
Before you begin, make sure all ingredients are dog-safe. Always check that your peanut butter is xylitol-free, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
For the Biscuits
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour for a gluten-free option)
- ¼ cup unsalted, xylitol-free peanut butter
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
For the Yogurt Glaze
- ½ cup plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening)
- 1–2 teaspoons water (adjust for consistency)
How to Make Peanut Butter and Yogurt Glazed Dog Biscuits
1. Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, peanut butter, applesauce, egg, and cinnamon until a dough forms. If it feels sticky, add a little extra flour until it’s easy to work with.
2. Shape the Biscuits
Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough to about ¼-inch thickness.
Use cookie cutters (bone-shaped or any fun design) to cut out the biscuits and place them on the baking sheet.
3. Bake
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the biscuits are firm and lightly golden.
Transfer to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely.
4. Make the Yogurt Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and cornstarch. Add water a few drops at a time until the glaze reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency.
5. Glaze and Set
Once the biscuits are fully cooled, spread or dip the tops into the yogurt glaze.
Let the glaze set at room temperature, or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to speed things up.
Storage Tips
Because of the yogurt glaze, store these biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
