2 Ingredient Dog Treats Made with Baby Food

[Melissa]

If you’re looking for 2 ingredient dog treats that are incredibly easy to make, you only need two simple ingredients: whole wheat flour and baby food.

These homemade dog treats come together with an easy dough that you can roll out, cut into fun shapes with cookie cutters, and bake until firm. There are no complicated ingredients, special equipment, or long list of instructions.

I made these 2 ingredient dog treats with baby food using 2 cups of whole wheat flour and 2 of the 4 ounce containers of baby food. That’s it!

The result is an easy homemade dog biscuit that’s perfect when you want to make something special for your dog without spending all afternoon in the kitchen.

Why You’ll Love These 2 Ingredient Dog Treats​

There are plenty of reasons to make your own dog treats, but the biggest one might be how ridiculously simple this recipe is.

These easy 2 ingredient dog treats:

Ingredients for 2 Ingredient Dog Treats​

You only need the following two ingredients to make these homemade dog biscuits.

Whole Wheat Flour​

You’ll need 2 cups of whole wheat flour.

Whole wheat flour gives these homemade dog treats a sturdy, biscuit-like texture that works well for rolling and cutting into shapes.

Baby Food​

You’ll also need one 8-ounce container of baby food, or 2 of the 4 ounce containers.

The important thing is to check the ingredient list before giving the finished treats to your dog. Choose a baby food that contains ingredients that are appropriate for dogs, and avoid products containing ingredients such as onion or garlic.

If you’re unsure whether a particular baby food is appropriate for your dog, check with your veterinarian before using it.

How to Make 2 Ingredient Dog Treats​

These 2 ingredient homemade dog treats couldn’t be much easier to make.

Step 1: Combine the Ingredients​

Add 2 cups of whole wheat flour and one 8-ounce container of baby food to a mixing bowl.

Mix until the ingredients come together and form a workable dough.

Depending on the baby food you use, the consistency can vary slightly. If the dough seems too sticky, add a little more flour. If it seems too dry to come together, a small amount of water can help.

Step 2: Roll Out the Dough​

Lightly flour your work surface and place the homemade dog treat dough on top.

Use a rolling pin to roll the dog treat dough out evenly.

You can make them thinner for a crispier biscuit or leave them a little thicker for a heartier dog treat. Try to keep the thickness relatively consistent so the treats bake evenly. Or make a bunch of different shapes and sizes if that is how you roll, it’s really up to you.

Step 3: Cut Out the Dog Treats​

This is the fun part for most people.

Use your favorite dog treat cookie cutters to cut the dough into shapes.

I used dog-themed cookie cutters to make mine, but you can use bones, paws, hearts, circles, or whatever shapes you have.

Gather the scraps, roll the dough out again, and continue cutting until you’ve used as much of the dough as possible.

Step 4: Bake the Homemade Dog Treats​

Place the cut-out treats on a baking sheet.

Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes.

The exact baking time can vary depending on the thickness and size of your treats, so keep an eye on them toward the end of the baking time.

Allow the treats to cool completely before giving them to your dog.

How to Store Homemade Dog Treats​

Let the homemade dog treats cool completely before storing them.

Because the moisture level can vary depending on the baby food used and how thoroughly the treats are baked, storage time can vary as well.

For the best quality, store cooled treats in an airtight container and monitor them for any signs of spoilage or mold. You can also freeze homemade dog treats if you want to make a batch ahead of time.

Can You Make These 2 Ingredient Dog Treats With Different Baby Food?​

Yes, but not every baby food is appropriate for dogs.

If you want to experiment with different flavors, carefully check the ingredient list first.

Avoid baby food containing ingredients that are unsafe for dogs, particularly onions, garlic, or other ingredients known to be harmful to dogs.

It’s also worth remembering that these are treats, not a replacement for your dog’s complete and balanced diet.

If your dog has food allergies, dietary restrictions, diabetes, or another medical condition, talk to your veterinarian before introducing new treats.

Can I Use Another Type of Flour for Dog Treats?​

Whole wheat flour is what I used for this recipe, but homemade dog treats can be made with different types of flour depending on your dog’s dietary needs.

If your dog has a known wheat allergy or intolerance, don’t simply substitute another flour without considering whether it is appropriate for your dog.

If you’re making a substitution, you may also need to adjust the amount of flour because different flours absorb moisture differently.

How Thick Should I Roll Dog Treat Dough?​

There isn’t one perfect thickness for homemade dog biscuits.

For these easy dog treats, I recommend rolling the dough evenly so the treats bake at approximately the same rate.

Thinner treats will generally become crispier and may need less time in the oven, while thicker treats will take longer to bake.

Whatever thickness you choose, keep the pieces relatively consistent so you don’t end up with some treats overbaked while others are still soft.

Can I Make These Dog Treats Without Cookie Cutters?​

Absolutely.

Cookie cutters make these baby food dog treats fun and cute, but they’re not necessary.

You can use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the dough into small squares, rectangles, strips, or whatever shape works best for your dog.

If you’re making treats specifically for training, cutting the dough into small pieces can also make it easier to control the portion size.
