Your dog is going to love these Peanut Butter Sweet Potato Dog Treats! They’re easy to make and are full of natural ingredients.
This is our sweet Texas Heeler, Daisy. A Texas Heeler is part Australian Cattle Dog and Australian Shepherd. She’s sweet and funny, but if you know heelers, you know they need a lot of stimulation and enrichment if they aren’t working.
As a food blogger, I am constantly moving around the kitchen and dining room with food that I am photographing. Daisy is always waiting for a piece! So, boy was she happy when she found out these Peanut Butter Sweet Potato Dog Treats I was baking were all for her!
My daughter had found a super cute dog biscuit cookie cutter a while ago at the craft store, so we have been playing around with recipes for awhile now.
Around the holidays, I love to make homemade dog treats for friends with dogs or Daisy’s friends. You can make them in holiday shapes like Gingerbread Men or Christmas Trees. Or for Valentine’s Day, you can make heart shaped homemade dog treats.
How to Make My Peanut Butter Sweet Potato Dog Treats Recipe:
Be sure scroll down because I have the full printable recipe with ingredients and instructions for you.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, eggs, sweet potato, peanut butter and salt.
Add water as needed to get the dough to knead. But not too wet, as you want your dough to be dry and stiff.
We recently started changing our homemade dog treats to swap out water for beef or chicken bone broth for added flavor and nutrients.
Roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch-thick and cut them out with your cookie cutter. Bake for about 40 minutes until they are hard!
If you check out the reviews on these homemade dog treat recipe, you’ll notice it has 5 stars. Well how do you know your pups will love these treats? When they come running over when they hear the treat container being opened!
How Long Will These Dog Treats Last?
After the treats have cooled off, keep them in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. If you’d like to freeze them, homemade dog treats last about 6 months in a freezer safe container.
Have you ever made homemade dog treats for your dogs? Let us know if your pups love these Peanut Butter Sweet Potato Dog Treats too!
Don’t forget to ask your vet if your dog has allergies if these homemade dog treats are good for them to enjoy! Xylitol is bad for dogs, so make sure your peanut butter does not have it! I use the peanut butter from Aldi.

How do you bake the sweet potato?

Super easy....I wash, dry them. Then drizzle some olive oil over them and wrap in foil. Then bake until done, about 45 min. But you can cook the sweet potatoes anyway you'd like: bake, steam. Honestly, I don't make sweet potatoes just for this recipe. I usually have some left over from dinner or whatnot and use those.

My doggies loved these! Easy to make. My first batch I added to much water, so I ended up making more than I planned because I had to add more ingredients to compensate for too much water. I keep the treats in a air tight container.
