Homemade Peanut Butter Dog Bones: A Simple, Healthy Recipe Your Pup Will Love

Ingredients

• 1 cup organic unsweetened peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
• 1 cup wholemeal flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup multigrain or bran cereal (no raisins), crushed
• 1/2 cup grated carrots
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses
• 1/2 cup water

Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl, then mix in the wet ingredients. Add water gradually—the exact amount depends on your peanut butter's oil content.
2. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Roll out to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into bone shapes using a cookie cutter.
3. Gather scraps, re-knead, and repeat until all dough is used.
4. Arrange the bones on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on both sides.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack to crisp up perfectly.
