These easy homemade frozen peanut butter banana dog treats are a healthy, budget-friendly way to spoil your pup. Made with simple, wholesome ingredients, they’re perfect for cooling off on hot days or as a special treat any time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas (about 240g)
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened, xylitol-free, about 120g)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (about 120g, or substitute plain coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 23 tablespoons water, as needed
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • Optional: A handful of chopped blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 2 ripe bananas. Measure out the peanut butter and yogurt. Prepare any optional add-ins.
  2. Place banana slices, peanut butter, and yogurt into a blender or food processor. Add 2 tablespoons of water to help blend. If mixing by hand, mash bananas in a large bowl until smooth, then stir in peanut butter and yogurt.
  3. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth. If mixing by hand, mash and stir until no large banana lumps remain. Add another tablespoon of water if the mixture is too thick.
  4. Stir in any optional ingredients like ground flaxseed or blueberries. If using blueberries, fold them in gently at the end.
  5. Spoon or pour the mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays. Tap gently to remove air bubbles and level the tops.
  6. Freeze on a flat surface for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.
  7. Once frozen, pop the treats out of the molds. If they stick, let them sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes or run the mold bottom under warm water for 10 seconds.
  8. Store treats in an airtight container or zip-top bag in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Notes

Use overripe bananas for best sweetness and texture. Always check peanut butter for xylitol and avoid added salt or sugar. For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt or unsweetened applesauce. Let treats thaw for a minute or two before serving to small dogs or puppies. Optional add-ins like flaxseed or blueberries boost nutrition. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
