No Bake Peanut Butter Dog Treats
Easy peasy 4-ingredient treats that are sure to be your pup’s favorite. And you can whip these up in just 15 min!
After making those peanut butter dog bones, I’ve been having so much fun in the kitchen making dog treats for my two baby corgis.
It’s also been a huge money-saver because I’m alway stocking up on the organic treats at the pet store, but at the end of the day, nothing beats homemade.
It’s even better when you don’t have to turn on the oven. All you need is a mixer for this one.
But what I really like about these treats is how you can chill or freeze them, making these to be the perfect midday snack to energize your pups.
Best of all, these treats are chockfull of pumpkin, which is a great source of fiber and helps with digestive regularity.
But you may want to keep these treats out of reach because they’ll be sure to eat every single last one of these!
No Bake Peanut Butter Dog Treats
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup milk
- 3 cups old fashioned oats, divided
Instructions
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat pumpkin puree, peanut butter and milk on medium-high until well combined, about 1-2 minutes. Gradually add 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats at low speed, beating just until incorporated.
- Using a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 1 1/4-to-1 1/2-inch balls, forming about 20. Dredge balls in remaining 1/2 cup old fashioned oats, pressing to coat.
- Cover and place in the refrigerator until firm, about 1 hour.*

My little girl she’s really picky. I’m going to make these for her. They look very good I hope she likes these.
My dogs love these! I have made them many times, lately started processing the oats as reviewer Caleb mentioned. today I deceided to process the oats (not into a flour but broken down a bit. I reserved the oats for coating but just added all the other ingredients to the food processor. It worked like a dream! Doubled the recipe and it yielded 74 balls. I freeze them, vacuum pack in small batches. Of course George Michael and Millie Bobby got to try them out right away and gave a resounding paws up!!!
I made these, minus the milk and baked at 350 for 15 minutes. I roll into small balls that she gets as rewards / training treats. My dog absolutely goes crazy for them – and there is nothing unhealthy. We are dealing with some allergy issues, so this is great. Much cheaper than 10 cookies for $10 from the specialty store!
My dogs love these!
I leave in the freezer and give them frozen
I doubled the recipe and added 60 finely ground glucosamine pills and then weighed the batch and divided it by 60- they came out to 23 grams a piece. I also ran the oatmeal through the food processor briefly to make it a coarse oat flour- I think it helps with digestion- less gas. And they seem to hold together better. Same thing with the coating- a fine ground “oat flour” keeps them from sticking together. My dogs go nuts for these! I was buying name brand glucosamine treats for my 3 dogs which was costing $50/ month. This takes a little time but is way cheaper and there’s no mystery ingredients, additives, or preservatives. And I tried them too, they don’t taste bad with the glucosamine, but not sweet enough for my taste!! My 13 year old boy gets around a lot better with a regular supplement of these treats!
Thanks for the recipe!!!
My picky dogs loved these tasty morsels! I think the peanut butter in it was a perfect mix with the pumpkin and oats.
I’ve made these in the past but today I only have the 1-minute old fashioned oats Is it okay to use them?
My Boston Terrier (2 yr F) loved this recipe. Yet I have one easy question:
What is the shelf life for this recipe? And could you begin including this info with your recipes? Especially for guys like myself which are novice chefs in the kitchen!

We foster an array of dogs, from puppies to seniors and everydoggy in between. This is one of the few fall back recipes I know everyone in the house will love and be able to digest with no tummy troubles! Thank you very much!
Agreed, Please add stability when refrigerated or frozen.
OMGOODNESS…..Couldn’t be healthier or easier!
These are the best! My dogs love them and so easy!
i know right…they are so amazing to my puppy and i actually made more today…
This recipe is awesome!! My yorkie is always so picky with treats but these make her go nuts!! She LOVES them.
This recipe is awesome. I use the treats to give my dogs there daily their daily meds.
This recipe looks wonderful, but I don’t have oats and raw pumpkin to make a pumpkin puree!
Use canned pumpkin.
My Shih Tzu loves them. I have a very tiny dog bone shape cookie cutter. I press down the ingredients
one at a time individually. Put them on a wax paper on a cookie sheet. FREEZE THEM. He LOVES THEM. I only give him one a day so he doesn’t get chubby.
Takes a bit of time but well worth seeing him enjoyment eating them.
Sure hopes someone try’s the idea. Really cute.
Can you freeze these also?
These are excellent and easy! My pups love them.
I add all the oatmeal then press them evenly into a jelly roll pan and cut them into squares. My mini dachshund loves them. After reading other reviews I plan to try sweet potato and bananas for something different. Even though she definitely isn’t bored with the pumpkin
Had to give Belle a sample before I made the rest if the treats into balls. She loved them. Made almost a double batch in order to use the whole can of pumpkin puree.
