Peanut Butter Biscuits

Nothing says “good dog” like a batch of warm, peanut butter biscuits fresh from the oven. These homemade treats are wholesome, crunchy, and delightfully aromatic — made with simple pantry ingredients and no preservatives.

The dough is soft and easy to work with, and the finished biscuits are firm enough to store yet tender enough for smaller dogs to enjoy. A drizzle of natural peanut butter frosting makes them extra irresistible!

Before you begin, always check your peanut butter label to ensure it’s free of xylitol, which is toxic to dogs. For first-timers, start with a small piece to make sure your furry friend tolerates all the ingredients well.

Why You’ll Love These Treats

• Made from just a few clean, natural ingredients.
• Simple to roll, cut, and bake — fun for kids to help with.
• Perfect for training rewards or a weekly snack.
• Customizable for sensitive tummies (see tips below).

🗒 Ingredients

For the Biscuits

• 2½ cups whole wheat flour (or rice/coconut flour for wheat-free)
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup unsalted natural peanut butter
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for flavor)

For the Frosting (Optional)

• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon honey
• ⅓ cup cornstarch or arrowroot powder
• 3–4 tablespoons hot water (adjust for consistency)

🍪 How to Make

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and egg. Add peanut butter, water, and honey. Mix until a firm dough forms. You may need to knead it by hand or use a mixer with a paddle attachment.
3. Lightly flour a clean surface. Roll the dough out to about ½-inch thick and cut into shapes with a cookie cutter. The biscuits won’t expand much, so make them the size you prefer.
4. Bake for 18–20 minutes (a little less for small treats) until golden brown. Cool completely before adding frosting.
5. To make the frosting, gently warm peanut butter and honey in the microwave (10–15 seconds at a time). Stir in cornstarch, then slowly add hot water until smooth. Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle patterns over cooled biscuits.

PetGo Baking Tips

• Allergy-Friendly Options:Swap whole wheat flour for oat or coconut flour if your dog is sensitive to grains.
• Peanut Butter Safety:Use natural, xylitol-free peanut butter only. You can substitute with pumpkin purée or mashed banana.
• Crunch Level:For a crisper texture, bake at 200°F for 45–60 minutes to dry them out completely.
• Honey Caution:Avoid honey for puppies under one year or dogs with immune issues.

🧊 Storage

Store your homemade biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months, or freeze for up to 8 months. Let them thaw at room temperature or warm slightly before serving.
