Description

Rice Krispie treats for dogs made with peanut butter and coconut oil—no sugar, no marshmallows, and full of crunch. A healthy, easy, no-bake snack perfect for daily rewards or training time.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups unsweetened puffed rice cereal
  • ½ cup homemade dog-safe peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease with coconut oil. Set aside.
  2. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the peanut butter and coconut oil, stirring until smooth and combined.
  3. Add ground flaxseed and cinnamon if using, and stir into the melted mixture.
  4. In a large bowl, add puffed rice cereal. Pour the melted mixture over it and gently fold until all cereal is coated.
  5. Transfer the mixture into the prepared dish and press it down firmly using parchment paper or a spatula to ensure it’s compact.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
  7. Lift the mixture out using parchment paper, and cut into small, bite-sized squares.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • You can customize the recipe by adding dried apple pieces, banana, or pumpkin purée.
