The Joy of a Wagging Tail
My dog’s happy dance made me love homemade treats. His tail thumped against the cabinet. The smell of warm peanut butter filled our kitchen. Ever wondered how you could make your dog’s day brighter? It starts with simple, good ingredients. Seeing his joy is my greatest reward.
My First Kitchen Adventure
My first batch was a funny mess. I used too much peanut butter. The dough stuck to everything, even my elbow. We laughed so hard that day. That mess taught me a beautiful lesson. Cooking for others is a true act of love. It does not need to be perfect. It just needs to be made with care.
Why These Treats Work
These biscuits have a wonderful crunch dogs love. The molasses adds a sweet smell they go crazy for. Which flavor combo surprises you most? Tell me in the comments! The simple ingredients mean you know every bite is safe. Your pup gets a tasty and healthy snack.
A Treat’s Humble Beginning
People have baked for their dogs for a very long time. It started as a way to use leftover scraps. This recipe is a modern take on that old idea. *Did you know molasses can be good for a dog’s digestion?* It gives them a little health boost. What does your dog do for a treat?

Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |

| Baking powder | 1 tbsp |
Easy Peanut Butter Biscuits For Your Best Friend
Step 1 Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. This gets it nice and hot. It is ready for your biscuits. Always check the temperature with an oven thermometer. (My hard-learned tip: Use parchment paper. It stops everything from sticking!). Step 2 Put all the ingredients in a big bowl. Mix them on a low speed. You want a soft dough to form. It should pull away from the bowl’s sides. Step 3 Place your dough on parchment paper. Roll it out to a quarter inch thick. Use any fun cookie cutter you like. We love a good bone shape for our pups.

Pumpkin Power-Up Add a half cup of pure pumpkin. It is great for doggy digestion. This is a perfect fall flavor. Apple Crunch Mix in a half cup of shredded apple. Make sure there are no seeds. Dogs love the sweet, fresh taste. Cheesy Delight Swap the peanut butter for plain pumpkin. Then add a half cup of shredded cheddar. A savory option for your dog.

Serve these biscuits as a training reward. They are the perfect small size. You can also crumble one over their dinner. It adds a nice crunch they will enjoy. Pair this snack with fresh, cool water. That is always the best choice. For you, try a crisp iced tea. Or a light lager beer would be nice. Which would you choose tonight: iced tea or a cold beer?
Keeping Treats Fresh
Store these biscuits in an airtight container. They last about a week on your counter. For longer storage, freeze them for up to three months. No need to thaw before serving. My dog, Barnaby, loves his treats cold. This keeps them ready for any surprise good boy moments.
Simple Troubleshooting Tips
Is your dough too sticky? Add a bit more flour. If the dough seems too dry, add a splash of milk. Are the treats too hard after baking? Next time, roll the dough a little thicker. These small fixes make baking easier. Every baker learns by doing, so don’t worry.
Your Questions Answered
Can I make these gluten-free? Yes! Swap the whole wheat flour for oat or coconut flour.
Can I make the dough ahead? Absolutely. Keep it wrapped in the fridge for two days.
What can I use instead of molasses? A tablespoon of honey works just fine here.
Can I double this recipe? You sure can. It’s great for big batches.
Is peanut butter safe for dogs? Always use peanut butter without xylitol. That stuff is bad for pups.
Happy Baking to You and Your Pup
