Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these Peanut Butter Chicken Broth Dog Treats:

• 1 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened, xylitol-free)

Instructions (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, chicken broth, egg, and olive oil. Stir until smooth and well blended.

Gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour. If it’s too dry, add a splash of broth.

Step 4: Roll Out the Dough

Step 5: Cut Shapes

Use cookie cutters or simply cut into small squares. Place the treats onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7: Cool Completely

Let the treats cool completely before serving. They will continue to harden as they cool.
