Paw shaped frozen yogurt banana peanut butter dog treats.

These simple and easy to make Peanut Butter Banana Yogurt Dog Treats are a great way for your pup to cool down! Budget-friendly and healthy for your dog. 

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!

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

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

How To Make Yogurt Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats

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

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!

    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.

    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.

      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 🙂

    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!

    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!

    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! ♡

    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!!

      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..

    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

      They are frozen, so they will definitely melt if they are not frozen. I don’t have any other yogurt recipes, but I do have a Peanut Butter Dog Treat Macaron recipe. http://cookingwithjanica.com/peanut-butte-dog-treat-macarons-recipe/

    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.

      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!

    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!
