2-Ingredient Healthy Dog Treats
Description
The 2-Ingredient Healthy Dog Treats combine ripe banana and peanut butter blended with water until smooth. The batter is poured into a silicone mold placed on a baking sheet to ensure stability when transferring to the freezer. Once frozen solid, the treats can be easily popped out and stored in the freezer for up to six months.
The treats provide a cool, flavorful snack that dogs enjoy, tending to last longer if served icy. The smoothness of the batter helps it hold together well after freezing. Because of the simple base, it’s possible to add supplements or other dog-safe ingredients mixed into the batter before freezing.
Ingredients
- 1 banana ripe
- 1/2 cup peanut butter unsalted and unsweetened
- 1/2 cup of water , or more as needed to blend
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until completely smooth. If your batter seems too thick to pour out of the blender, add more water 1/4 cup at a time-- if your dog loves ice as much as mine does, it doesn't really matter if the flavor gets diluted a bit. (The icier the treat, the longer it lasts!)
- Arrange a silicone mold like this one onto a sturdy baking sheet and pour the batter into each crevice, making about a dozen treats. (It's important that the silicone mold is on a sturdy baking sheet BEFORE pouring the batter into the mold, as the silicone is very flexible and could cause the batter to spill when you transfer it to the freezer.) Freeze until firm, about 2 hours, then pop the little treats out of the mold and store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 6 months.
- These treats can clearly be customized as you see fit, and would also be a great way to sneak any supplements into their diet. (We give our dog a cranberry supplement to help with urinary tract health, so sometimes I'll add that in, too.)
