These 3 ingredient dog treats are easy to make and a favorite of dogs everywhere.

Our poor little dog, Pearl, has to smell the wonderful things we cook all the time. It must be torture to have all those wonderful smells penetrating your nasal cavities knowing that you won’t get any.

Yes, life for Pearl is pretty tough. You should definitely feel bad for her.

Sometimes she even has to go on trips with us and stay at nice hotels, or ring in the New Year on the Queen Mary.

Like a good mom, I can’t talk about her without showing a baby photo. Just look at that lil’ face!

Homemade Yogurt Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats Recipe

Because she’s such a good girl despite having it so rough, I thought she deserved some Cooking With Janica recipes too.

Homemade Yogur Peanut Butter Banana Frozen Dog Treats. Easy to follow recipe instructions and video.

I like to keep dog treat recipes very simple. This is one of my favorites as it has only 3 ingredients.

Making them is pretty simple, you just throw all of the ingredients into a food processor and blend.

Blend all the ingredients together to make yogurt peanut butter banana dog treats.

Then fill up a silicone mold (I use this one) or an ice cube tray and freeze for two hours.

How simple is that?!

Because these dog treats are frozen instead of baked, they are perfect for summertime. You don’t have to turn on the oven, and your pup gets a tasty treat that cools him/her down.

I hope your furry friend enjoys these treats as much as Pearl does. (Catch her chowing down on one in the video below!)

These dog treats are so easy to make because they require only three ingredients and no baking.

  2. Using the paw print mold, how many treats does your recipe yield? Thanks!

    ★★★★★

  4. I have never used brewer’s yeast, but after reading about it I don’t see why not. If you try it please let us know how it goes!

  5. I have made a treat with just brewer’s yeast and coconut oil in It. The dogs ate it but it was almost a bribe so I wanted to add something they would like more flavorful. They just can’t have to much brewer’s yeast. I will try it and let you know how it goes.

  10. I got mine on Amazon. If you have trouble finding it I have a link to it in the recipe, as well as in the intro before the recipe.

  14. The paw print mold is made by K9Cakery.com. It turns out perfect little paws. Easy to clean too. I use it all the time. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

  15. Please read the peanut butter ingredient list. Some brands are now being sweetened with zylitol which is bad for dogs. Otherwise, I am sure all three of our dogs – even the finicky Jack Russell – will love these.

  17. Thanks I will be trying this recipe tomorrow for my little chipoo Bella. She loves peanut butter.

  19. Hi Jessica! After making these and the initial freeze- what is the recommended shelf life? Can we store them on the counter do they need to be kept frozen? Thx!

  20. Hi Casey! You will definitely want to keep them frozen.

    I have kept mine as long as 3 weeks and they were still fine. They may get a little “icy” on the outside, but my dog doesn’t seem to mind 🙂

  21. How much is 32oz in mL? I’m planning to make this treat for my little dog. Greetings from Canada!

    ★★★★★

  22. Im gonna use the dog butter instead of pb its better for them and my dogs love it. They practically try to bite the spoon to get it lol

    ★★★★★

  23. Do you use plain regular yogurt or plain Greek yogurt? The consistency from the video looks like it would be Greek yogurt. Can either be used? Also how many paw print moods does this recipe make? Thank you!

  26. We just made these. I cut the recipe in half and it made a little over a full ice tray. So naturally the pups got to eat the leftovers and lick the bowl clean. They loved it! And im sure they will love it when it is frozen too. (I even tried some and it was in fact quite delicious) Going to be a great treat for hot summer days! Thank you for the recipe!

    ★★★★★

  29. We use brewers yeast. Neither of our two dogs have had a flea or tick, knock on wood. .
    Some dogs like coconut oil straight up and some do not.. I make the cc. oil + brewer’s y. treatsvin a gummy bear mold. They LOVE them :))

    If you can find organic peanut butter the only ingredient is peanuts. No sugar. No salt. No worries! ♡

  30. I made a batch of these for all the fur-babies in the family. My husband and I have Coco, a doxi-terrier mix, then there’s Henny Penny a mini doxi, Stella a manchester terrier mix, Shadow a black lab, and Izzy a yellow lab. They ALL love their ice cream treaties!!! Thanks for sharing your recipe! Ruff Ruff!!

  34. I would just stick with plain. The added sugar and flavor is not necessary, and every dog recipe I have ever seen has specifically said plain..
    🙂 <3

  37. My recipe said 3 bananas and 1 cup of PB and 32 ozs of yogurt. Is that wrong proportions?

  38. what can you use instead if peanut. butter?
    Previous post write. “dog butter” 😳 What is that??

  39. How many can I give to my dog I’ve never seen my dog love something so much like he did with these and it’s so simple I filled the ice tray with it and put the rest in the fridge for another time lolol

  40. The puppy paw mold is adorable, I cant wait to try this. Looks so much healthier than anything at the store and I already have the ingredients at home! Thanks for sharing 🙂

  41. If I make them and put them in containers for gifts are they okay if they’re out of the freezer do they melt or do you have any yogurt recipes that don’t require freezing I have several dogs in the family I want to make treats for ans they all love peanut butter

  43. Made these as Christmas presents for my 2 granddogs. They absolutely love them! So easy to make. I got both the large and small paw print molds since one dog is little and one larger.

  46. How many each using a small heart mold for a small breed dog of 10 lbs?

    I posted before but put my wrong email address

  47. Hi Michelle! My small dog is about 10 lbs and I wouldn’t give her more than one a day. I would recommend consulting with your vet about it as all dogs are different.

  48. So looking forward to making these for my pup! I actually want to make them for a play date at the dog park with some friends. Do the treats melt really fast? I want to take them with me, but I know we need to store them in the freezer.

  49. Think of them like a popsicle, if they are out of they freezer they will begin the process of melting. You could try putting them in a very cold cooler of ice, but you will likely still be on borrowed time. Hope the pups enjoy!

  50. Can’t wait to try these, but can you please add to your recipe to only use natural or organic peanut butter? Some people may not realize some peanut butter contain zylitol which is toxic to dogs! Thank you!

  58. I just made mine today so excited it’s our doggies birthday in July. I made it with plain greek yogurt and Jif creamy peanut butter is it ok that the peanut butter has some sugar and salt in it?

  59. Yes, that is fine. We have used Jif to make them and they turn out great. The main thing you want to avoid is any peanut butter with xylitol.

  62. Jessica, do you have other recipes for dog treats? I love to cook and bake and we have 5 dogs in the house currently. 1 is a miniture chawawa, 1 Pit Bull, 1 16 year old black Lab,1 very big dog I don’t know what breed he is and we are currently dog sitting for my brother”s little girl she is a 16 year old terrier. The above recipe will be really nice as we live in Arizona and it is already in the 100″s.

  65. That will largely depend on the age and expiration of your yogurt. I’ve kept them up to two week in my freezer with no issues.

  67. Just made these over in the UK during our ‘heatwave’ and they’re amazing. My cocker spaniel and his Labrador pal can’t get enough of them. Shame that most Brits don’t bother going to the effort of creating homemade pup treats – all the recipes I find are American.

  68. I was led to believe that dogs are lactose intolerant, so how can they have normal yoghurt?

  69. Vets often recommend yogurt as an addition to a dog’s diet because of the calcium, protein, and probiotics it contains. Some dogs can have a hard time digesting lactose. I’ve never had one with this issue. If your dog is sensitive to lactose, I would recommend using Greek yogurt, which contains less lactose.

  71. You’re welcome, Vanessa. I have never had these last more than a few weeks in my freezer, because my dogs eat them all! I imagine they would be good for at least 4 weeks. It will probably depend on the expiration of your yogurt.

  73. I added some coconut oil and omitted the honey. Love them. I have 4 German Shepherds so as many natural treats I can get is great.

  75. Micah, my baby, he’s 65lbs, absolutely loved these! He even jumped up on the counter an licked the other tray almost dry! Bad dog! Anyway, I have the paws and firehydrant cookie cutter trays and while they’re cute and work great, beware, they’re not sturdy enough for liquid recipes.. The recipe slides all over the place. I had to put a cookie sheet underneath it to put it in the freezer. It was falling all over the tray and on the floor. I think these sheets are made for cookie treats! HOWEVER, HE LOVED THEM!🐾😀

  76. My dog loves this. I also shared it with a couple of other dogs who loved it as well. My only wish is that perhaps it yielded a bit less (or I could just go out and buy more ice trays!). I have one small dog who’s weight I have to control, so I had to get creative in storing the excess.
