We are a huge fan of Four Leaf Rover, and if you follow along, you know we use their Bone Powder daily for John John since we feed him only fresh food. But, they also make some other amazing supplements for your dog!
So, today we teamed up with Four Leaf Rover and our friends at Wildly Organic to create mushroom dog treats using the Four Leaf Rover Seven ‘Shrooms blend.
Ingredients for Mushroom Peanut Butter Dog Treats
- Peanut Butter: I use organic creamy peanut butter for the base as it makes these so tasty for dogs! Make sure to use dog safe peanut butter, which is organic and only has 2 ingredients (peanuts and salt). Make sure to avoid xylitol as this is incredibly toxic to dogs. Other ingredients to avoid are added sugars, flavors, and seed oils. Also, do not use crunchy peanut butter as dog’s cannot digest nuts very well and it can cause GI upset. I always use Costco Organic Peanut Butter!
- Mushroom Powder: The secrete ingredient in this recipe is Four Leaf Rover Seven ‘Shrooms mushroom blend.
- Flour: I use a mix of all purpose flour, oat flour, and Wildly Organic Coconut Flour which are all dog safe flours for making homemade dog treats.

Baker’s Tips for Mushroom Peanut Butter Dog Treats
- You can form these into different sizes or shapes if you prefer. If doing that, just ensure you are baking them longer if you make them bigger or a little less if you make them much smaller.
- If your dog is gluten free, just swap out the all purpose flour for oat flour.
- Make sure to store these in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
How to Make Mushroom Peanut Butter Dog Treats
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, honey, all purpose flour, coconut flour, melted coconut oil, and mushroom powder.
- Mix together with a spatula until a stiff dough forms.
- Using a tablespoon measure out the dough and form into squares. Place on the prepared baking sheet spacing evenly apart, you’ll have about 20 cookies. Using a fork, press it into the cookie dough twice alternating ways (optional).
- Bake 10 to 13 minutes or until they are golden brown around the edges.
Recipe FAQ’s
Yes, peanut butter is safe for dogs in moderation which is why it's perfect for treats.
It's best use an organic creamy peanut butter with minimal ingredients. I use the Costco Kirkland Organic Peanut Butter, this only has organic peanuts and salt as the ingredients. You don't want to use a crunchy peanut butter as dogs can't digest whole nuts well. And, you want to avoid peanut butters with other added ingredients such as sugars, flavors, seed oils, and especially xylitol. Xylitol is toxic to dogs and it can be in some peanut butters.
Yes, if it has xylitol as that is toxic to dogs. Other ingredients such as seed oils and sugar can just cause inflammation and your dog does not need those. Stick to an organic peanut butter with just peanuts and salt as the only two ingredients.
These are treats, so they should be fed in moderation. Depending on how small or big your dog is, you can adjust what is right for them. Treats for dogs are just like treats for humans, they should only make up a small portion of their daily diet.
They can if it's a small amount.
If you don’t have the mushroom powder, you can just omit it for plain peanut butter dog treats. If the dough feels a little sticky, just add a tablespoon of flour. Or, you can try another peanut butter dog treat recipe like our Peanut Butter Honey Granola for Dogs or Frozen Peanut Butter Dog Treats.
These are dog treats, they are not a complete meal. You can give your dog a small amount in addition to a balanced meal.
These are crunchy peanut butter treats, but if they are too hard then you over baked them.
You can under bake these to make them a bit softer. But, if you are looking for softer treats, check out Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Cookies as these are meant to be soft.
Yes, because dogs love peanut butter these can be a high reward treat. If you are going to use these for training, you'll want to break them into tiny pieces.
Yes, they can!
Store in an airtight container in your pantry. You can also freeze them!
They’ll last for 2 weeks in the pantry. You can freeze them for even longer!
