Whether you have a dog or you know someone who has one, these peanut and coconut treats make a great little gift for them. Because why should humans be the only ones stuffing their faces this time of year? These little biscuits will give the doggos a reason to get excited too. Plus, they\u2019re grain-free! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This recipe will yield around 18 bite-sized treats (human bites, cause dog bites are practically elephant-sized) or about 8 bigger ones like the bone in the picture. They\u2019re made with dog-safe ingredients only, but if you have any worries, obviously consult your vet. And these are as they\u2019re called, treats<\/em>. So give them in moderation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the dough is gluten-free, it might be a bit crumbly when rolling and cutting so handle it carefully. And if you\u2019re cutting out bigger biscuits, use a spatula to move them onto the baking sheet. These peanut and coconut dog treats are so easy to make, there\u2019s no reason not to whip some up to see a happy doggo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ingredients to make these peanut & coconut dog treats<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I made sure to use ingredients dogs love and are least likely to react to. And I know dogs eat just about anything so it wasn\u2019t exactly rocket science, but I did keep a few things in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Rolling<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Peanut butter<\/span><\/strong>. Everybody and their mom knows that dogs love peanut butter. But always make sure to use a natural and salt-free one. The only ingredient should be peanuts! No xylitol, sugar or hydrogenated fats as those are bad for dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Coconut oil and shredded coconut<\/span><\/strong>. Coconut oil contains healthy fats your dog can benefit from. Plus it amplifies the coconut flavour combined with the shredded coconut. Make sure to use virgin unrefined coconut oil and unsweetened shredded coconut without added ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Banana<\/span><\/strong>. It\u2019s a great natural sweetener for these treats and it also acts as a binder. It provides a range of vitamins, but it\u2019s best consumed in moderation because of its sugar content. Which makes it perfect for dog treats! You could also use the same amount of pumpkin pur\u00e9e (homemade<\/a> or store-bought with no additives) or mashed sweet potato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Before<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Coconut flour<\/span><\/strong>. A lot of dogs can be sensitive to grains and gluten, that\u2019s why these are grain-free. I thought of using oat flour at first before finding that out. Other flour options included almond flour or chickpea flour. But coconut flour seemed to be the best option since they\u2019re already coconut-flavoured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Turmeric<\/span><\/strong>. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties. Although it can only be given in small quantities perhaps not enough to be beneficial, it doesn\u2019t hurt to add some in their diet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
