Yes — after a xylitol check
Three pantry ingredients, but the jar check matters more than the baking. Simple ratios for small crisp biscuits.
Recipe status: not yet tested in our kitchen. Written from common treat guidance (see Sources below). We’ll add our own photos and notes after we make it.
Treat only — not a complete diet. Homemade snacks do not replace a balanced commercial or veterinary diet. Skip if your dog has pancreatitis risk or peanut allergies — ask your vet.
Ingredients
- 100 g (1 cup) oat flour
- 85 g (1/3 cup) xylitol-free peanut butter
- 1 large egg (50 g)
- 15–30 ml (1–2 tablespoons) water, as needed
Steps
Scan the jar for xylitol / birch sugar / E967. Read the ingredient list by eye. If unsure, do not bake.
Heat oven to 175°C (350°F); line a sheet.
Mix flour, peanut butter, and egg; add water until rollable.
Roll to 6 mm (1/4 inch); cut 24 small biscuits.
Bake 16–18 minutes until firm.
Cool fully. Estimate kcal per piece and enter Custom in the calculator.
Calorie estimate (label as estimate): Oat flour 100 g × 3.79 kcal/g ≈ 379 kcal; peanut butter 85 g × 5.89 kcal/g ≈ 501 kcal; one large egg (50 g) ≈ 72 kcal. Batch ≈ 950 kcal estimate. Per biscuit (÷24) ≈ 40 kcal — for a small dog, half a biscuit may already be a big share of the daily treat budget.
Estimates use rough USDA-style values for plain foods and will vary by brand. Put your piece calories into the dog calorie calculator and keep snacks near 10% of daily calories (WSAVA / AAHA guidance).
Storage
Airtight tin up to 1 week at cool room temperature, or freeze up to 2 months.
Dogs vs cats
Dogs only. Do not give peanut butter biscuits to cats. Calorie-dense — easy to overshoot the 10% budget.
