5 Ingredient Peanut Butter & Honey Dog Biscuits
These simple homemade peanut butter & honey dog biscuits are loved by Winston because they include one of his fave ingredients: peanut butter!
In moderation, peanut butter (that doesn’t contain xylitol) is perfectly safe for dogs to eat. In fact, it’s a great source of protein and healthy fats, and vitamins B and E. When buying peanut butter, opt for the most natural brand possible.
The recipe calls for a frosting to be added on top of the biscuits. You can make this or leave it out – it’s totally up to you. Scroll down for the recipe to these deliciously simple peanut butter & honey dog biscuits.
Peanut Butter & Honey Biscuits
Equipment
- 1 Baking sheet
- 1 Rolling pin
- 1 2-2.5 inch cookie cutter (I used the top of a wine glass)
Ingredients
For the biscuits
- 1.25 cups whole wheat flour 150g
- 1 small egg
- 0.5 cup peanut butter 135g
- 0.5 cup water 135ml
- 0.5 tablespoons honey
For the frosting
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tabespoon honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or tinfoil if you’ve run out). Set aside.
- Combine the flour and the egg in a large bowl. Add the peanut butter, water, and honey, and stir until you have a stiff dough. Don’t be alarmed if the dough feels very firm – this is normal! You may have to use your hands. On the other hand, if the dough is too wet or sticky, it may be because your peanut butter brand is more oily than the one I used. Add 1-2 tbsp flour until you get a pliable dough.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough about ½-inch thick and use a cookie cutter (or wine glass like I did) to make shapes.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden. Once done, set aside to cool. Watch out for smaller biscuits as these will bake faster and you don’t want them to burn.
- To make the frosting, combine the peanut butter and honey in a microwavable bowl. Stir the mixture every 15 seconds until it’s completely melted. If you don’t have a microwave, you can use a saucepan on a low heat.
- Drizzle the frosting over the biscuits.
- Store in an airtight container.
Notes
Things to watch out for
- Some dogs are allergic to flour and wheat. You can use rice flour or coconut flour as a replacement but may have to increase/decrease the amount of water you add as these flours do change the consistency.
- Do not use any peanut butter that contains xylitol (a replacement for sugar) as it is toxic to dogs. Check the ingredients of your peanut butter before use.
