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.*

Great Recipe!! All three of our Caulker’s love the treats. I just made sure the peanut butter did not contain xylitol. I’m recommending this on the number of the Cogger sites I follow on Facebook.
How many days will the treats last?
A few days at least but as I am not an expert on food safety, I cannot really say with certainty – sorry, Jenna! Methods for optimal food storage and shelf life should be based on good judgment and what you are personally comfortable with.
Can u use can pumpkin?
Yes.
Oats are a healthy alternative for your dog, but are best if served up cooked. Whole oats w/no sugar or added crap.
I’ve made these several times. I always double it. I add different things to it, but I always add 1 tsp. Each of cinnamon and turmeric and 1 TBS. Chia Seeds, plus a little more milk for the chia seeds to soak up. I freeze then in molds. Jake loves them.
Made these substituted coconut oil instead of milk heard it keeps fleas away .great recipe and easy to make thanks.
How much coconut oil did you use?
Thanks for the tip. MY little one cannot have milk/dairy products. This fits the bill.
I made these for my fur babies as a pill pocket substitute. They absolutely love them. Thanks for the great recipe!
We have an older rescue dog that has issues with milk, we’d like to avoid if possible is there a good sub? Thanks!
Unfortunately, without further recipe testing, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
Maybe organic coconut milk
Can these be made in larger batches and frozen?
Yes!
My concern is the raw oats and milk. I don’t think I’ll make them.
We do not use cow milk. Is soy milk OK for dogs?
I recommend consulting with your pet’s veterinarian.
Are they suppose to harden?
Not exactly, unless you store them in the refrigerator or freezer.
My chihuahua wont eat pumpkin or sweet potatoes no matter how I hide them. He loves his peanut butter. Wonder if ok to just do them without and just pb and oats?
Yes, absolutely.
Sorry for maybe a stupid question but I want to make these dog treats that you have posted. Is the wholewheat flour Plain flour or self raising flour have never used it before.
and your dogs are georgeous cant wait to make these Fran
Awwww, thanks, Fran! Not a stupid question at all. But there is no flour in this recipe. Are you referring to a different recipe?
Can the pumpkin be substituted for anything else? I have run out so would love to know possible alternatives
Sweet potato puree would be a great substitute.
Could I substitute with banana or apple? home pureed of course for no added sugar.
Hello! I love this recipe! Just curious though, have you tried to bake these? I’m wondering how they would turn out.
I actually haven’t!
your pup in this post is the cutest thing ever. What breed or mix is he/she? looks a bit Corgy…..
Yes! Full corgi actually 🙂
Hi<! Where do you get pumpkin puree?

It should be readily available at your local grocery store. But you can also make it at home. There are many DIY recipes available online.
can you freeze them?
Yes!
Can u freeze them and then give frozen to eat?
Yes!
I want to make this recipe with my students. Can i substitute the peanut butter with Sun butter? We are not allowed to have peanut butter.
Yes, but please consult with your pet’s veterinarian regarding possible allergies your dog may have.
