Why Your Dog Will Love This Recipe
Dogs go crazy for the natural sweetness of banana paired with the earthy flavor of pumpkin. The Greek yogurt adds a creamy texture they’ll love to lick, while coconut oil provides healthy fats that support skin and coat health. These frozen bites are not only tasty but also soothing on hot summer days, making them a tail-wagging favorite.
Ingredients
Just 4 simple ingredients make this refreshing dog treat.
- Banana: Adds natural sweetness and packs potassium, fiber, and vitamin B6 for digestion and muscle health.
- Pumpkin Purée : Rich in fiber, vitamin A, and antioxidants; supports digestion, eyes, and immunity. Ensure that it is plain and not pumpkin pie filling puree.
- Greek Yogurt : A good source of calcium, protein, and probiotics for strong bones and gut health (plain, unsweetened only).
- Coconut Oil : Provides healthy fats (MCTs) for energy, skin, and coat health.
How To Make Frozen Pumpkin Banana Dog Treats
We make these treats into two layers but you could mix all the ingredients for just one layer. We use paw shaped silicone molds but you could use ice cube trays.
Mash banana and add pumpkin puree.
Mix Greek yogurt and coconut oil.
Spoon the yogurt mixture into silicone mold.
Top with the pumpkin banana mixture and freeze.
Recipe Tips
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and smooth texture.
- Make sure your pumpkin puree is 100% pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Pour the mixture into silicone molds or an ice cube tray for easy, bite-sized treats.
- Add just a splash of water if the mixture feels too thick to pour.
Storage
- Store treats in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag.
- Keep them in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Serve straight from the freezer for a cool, refreshing snack.
- Avoid leaving them out at room temperature too long, as they’ll melt quickly.
