With temperatures hitting some of the hottest in recorded history, I’ve been all about no-bake dog treat recipes. Who wants to turn on the oven when it’s sweltering out, right? Today, I’m thrilled to share a simple yet irresistible recipe for no-bake peanut butter dog treats that always gets my dog’s tail wagging! These are one of her all-time favorites!
Even if it’s not too hot out, sometimes you just want to whip up something fast for your pooch without spending an hour prepping and baking.
No-Bake Peanut Butter Dog Treat Recipe
If you check out the ingredients, you’ll see that this is a relatively hypoallergenic dog treat recipe. Most dogs do pretty well with peanut butter and pumpkin. If your dog is sensitive to dairy or oats, then you’ll have an issue, but if they are mainly sensitive to meats and wheat (it’s rhyme time!), you’re in the clear. Let’s see how to make it, shall we?

Ingredients
1 cup pumpkin puree
Instructions
Check out the video tutorial below for a detailed walkthrough:
Beat the pumpkin puree, peanut butter and milk on medium-high in the bowl of an electric mixer
Optional: If you find the mixture hard to work with, stick the whole bowl in the fridge for about an hour. It’ll make the “dough” a bit firmer and easier to roll.
What if my dog is allergic to dairy?
If your pup has a dairy allergy, you can still make this easy treat. In fact, sometimes I don’t have milk handy so I just leave it out. If you go that route, just play with the amount of the other ingredients a bit until it’s the right consistency for rolling into balls.
Sounds pretty good, right? Go ahead and give it a taste, there’s nothing in it that’s particularly “dog food-like” or gross to humans. That said, it’s not exactly as tasty for people as it is for pups. Then again, I’m a pretty picky eater, so that could just be me.
Lately, we’ve been trying to share dog treat recipes that you can also eat. My favorite so far is our frozen peanut butter pup pops recipe because it’s just like that one-ingredient banana ice cream that’s so popular right now. Our very berry frozen dog treat is another that’s great for people.
No-bake dog treats are my favorite kind to make because there’s far less of a chance that I’ll mess it up. It doesn’t get much easier than this recipe!
