Frozen Banana and Peanut Butter Dog Treat Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup plain Greek Yogurt
- ½ cup creamy Peanut Butter – all natural only – crucial
You will also need:
- A bowl
- Wooden spoon
- Muffin tin
Directions:
- In a large bowl mash up bananas with a potato masher or the back of a spoon – slightly overripe bananas are best for this recipe.
- Combine bananas with Greek yogurt and peanut butter until all ingredients are well combined. Using natural unsweetened peanut butter is the safe choice for dogs. You can blend the ingredients in a blender, but the dogs don’t mind if there are chunks, so it’s not necessary.
- Spoon into 6 standard size muffin tins or you can use mini muffin tins if you have small dogs and want smaller treats. Press firmly into cups.
- Freeze for 2-4 hours or until solid.
- When frozen completely remove treats from muffin tin and transfer to freezer safe bags to store up to 6 months, be sure to mark the bag with the date using a sharpie.
- Serve to your pups on hot days with plenty of cool, clean water to help them beat the heat.

My dog would love this! I didn’t realize that peanut butter was ok for dogs. This actually looks like a treat my kids and I would like as well. lol
Jennifer says
It has to be all natural PB! Xylitol (found in some peanut butters) is super dangerous! So check ingredients. <3
