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

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.

Can I give this to a puppy? She is 3 months old.
I was concerned about the non cooked oats reviewer’s notes so i toasted the oats,let them cool, made a batch. Thank you for the recipe. My gsd loved it. And i dont have to worry about the oats. Problem solved.
I made these, but substituted the cow secretions for Trader Joe’s Organic Coconut Cream (same amount). My two boys went NUTS for them!
not sure on the recipe because i havent trued them vut to Wendy on the use of coconut cream…any form of coconut is very bad for a dogs digestion…
Not really. Coconut is absolutely safe and beneficial for dogs. I give a spoon of Extra virgin coconut oil in the morning to Both my mini schnauzer and my boxer and they LOVE it. There are Natural coconut chips treats at the store that they love too. However, any type of food can actually upset a dog’s digestive system depending on the dog, just like on us humans. On the other hand, I did some research and found out that cow’s milk is in fact not good for dogs 🙁
You can use goat milk. I buy it frozen and let It thaw and my gsd loves it.
My 5 pitbull loved their treats.
Wow, that’s great!
These are the best thing ever. I’ve made them so many times now and my harper can’t get enough. I’ve also noticed it hasn’t affected her stool in anyway. Great stuff thank you for posting the recipe
I make these all the time for my pups AND my grandpuppy! They all LOVE them! I usually substitute mashed sweet potato for the pumpkin because I usually seem to have one I need to use up. Pumpkin for the holidays – just because. Either works, and the dogs agree. Terrific recipe!
Thanks for sharing!
I just have a quick question, After they have been in the fridge for the hour do you leave them in there and just get in the fridge and get them out as you need them or can they be left out at room temperature after?
Cassie, it is best to keep these in the fridge. 🙂
I enjoy making delicious treats and homemade dog food for my three silly fur kids. A toy mix, a gsd, and Great Dane! Three unique palates- so I was thrilled to see this easy recipe for punkin pb oaties! lol I have grandkids, too. Sorry for the name change. (Ps. Never let grandkids choose names- trust me! Or your poor dog will be named Maisy Mouse,Peppa pig, and umi zumi) I keep these items stocked in my pantry. So it was super easy to whip up! I made several batches- some how I managed to actually have some for the dogs! They are super yummy! Try to argue with three toddlers! I dare you. lol you’ll end up with these delicious treats in your mouth, too! Easy to make and very easy clean up- if you don’t share a kitchen with three toddlers! Please wrap the grands up in bath towels before trying to pick their peanut butter and pumpkin covered bodies before sticking their wriggling slippery bodies into the tub! I never laughed so hard in my life! Of course the three fur kids were equally covered in peanut butter and pumpkin! If it wasn’t winter- I’d have let the kids and dogs play in the sprinklers!
I can’t guarantee you’ll have as much fun making these doggie treats as we did.. nor need a bubble bath afterwards- LoL
But these dog treats are damn delicious! Aptly named!
I love all of these delicious recipes!!!
Grandma Tracy and the help of three toddlers and three dogs!
Of course!
I made these for my dogs except with banana puree instead of pumpkin. They go absolutely crazy when I pull the treats out of the freezer!
That’s so great!
Just made these for an older yellow lab. Tjey are in the fridge now for the hour. I hope she likes the.
How long can these be frozen for?
As I am not an expert on food safety, I cannot really say with certainty. Methods for optimal food storage and shelf life should be based on good judgment and what you are personally comfortable with. Hope that helps, Shirley!
Can these treats be frozen?
Yes, absolutely. I sometimes freeze them to extend the shelf life.
Is uncooked oatmeal good for your dogs I’ve heard that it’s not good for them thank you
Doreen, there can be risks involved when offering your dog new foods. Please consult with your pet’s veterinarian and use personal judgment for your own dog’s diet.
Completely a new dog mom here, so I apologize for asking such a stupid question! Is milk OK for dogs to consume?
Hi Kate! Some dogs have no problems digesting milk and dairy products, yet others can experience gas, diarrhea or vomiting — similar to us humans! It really depends if your dog can handle lactose, which is best answered by your veterinarian.
How do these hold up to being put in a pocket or bait bag? Do they fall apart or melt? Has anyone tried making them about the size of half a teaspon?
Could you add carrots to this ?
Yes, absolutely.
I made these the other night while puppy was sleeping……..had to make a second batch because the first was gone before he awakened…….all I can say is “delicious”….oh yes, Maverick likes them too
Doreen, thanks so much for posting.. AKC says not to give your dog raw oatmeal. It must be cooked.
Cooked oatmeal is to be given in moderation.
I will pass on this.
I’m wanting to make these for my chiweenie; as for milk: whole, 2% or What? As for peanut butter any particular? Also cook oats or not?
Stacy, you can use a milk of your choice but please note that most dogs can drink cow’s milk or goat’s milk but some dogs may be allergic/lactose intolerant. I also recommend using a peanut butter that does not contain xylitol. The oats are not cooked in this recipe. Hope that helps!
These treat are awesome an easy to make my 2 Boxers love them every time I open my frigerator they think now that they get a treat thank you so much
