These Peanut Butter Banana Frozen Dog Treats are made with 2 ingredients in less than 5 minutes. A yummy frozen treat to share with your favorite pup on hot summer days!
I’m switching things up a bit today with a different kind of recipe. This one is for our four legged doggy friends. However, even though I obviously intended these peanut butter banana dog treats for dogs, we humans could eat them, too. In fact, you could eat it alongside your dog. The hubs does. 😉
I used to buy our sweet black lab, Jessie, frozen doggy ice cream treats at the grocery store. But after falling in love with the ease of One Ingredient Banana Ice Cream, I realized I could totally use that as the base for a really tasty dog treat. I gave it a try several years ago and Jessie loved them, so now they’re a regular summer treat. Plus, it’s cheaper to make myself.
And these peanut butter banana dog treats are so easy to make. Once you’ve made your banana ice cream from frozen bananas, you add some peanut butter, then freeze it. Does it get any easier?!
Why Make These Frozen Dog Treats
- Dogs love them! This, for me, is the most important part! Jessie obviously loves these peanut butter banana dog treats, as I’ve been making them for her for years. But so has every other dog I’ve seen try them. If your dog loves peanut butter, I bet they’ll love these!
- Only 2 ingredients. These homemade dog treats are made with just two ingredients – peanut butter and banana. I like to add a regular dog treat bone on top but that’s totally optional.
- Quick & easy. It takes me a whopping 5 minutes to whip up four of these frozen treats. The hardest part (for me and Jessie!) is waiting for them to freeze completely.
What You’ll Need
These frozen dog treats are made with just 2 main ingredients. So easy! Be sure to scroll down to the recipe box at the end of the post for the amounts.
- Bananas – This is a great opportunity to use up those overripe bananas on the counter. Ripe bananas mash easier than green ones, which is better for this recipe.
- Peanut butter – Any creamy peanut butter that your dog already loves (or whatever you keep on hand) works. Just be sure it doesn’t contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs and can sometimes be found in certain peanut butters, such as low-sugar or high-protein versions.
- Mini dog treats – These are totally optional but I love to add a few little bones to the top of each peanut butter banana dog treat.
- Plastic cups – The peanut butter banana mixture is poured into and then frozen in mini plastic cups. Use whatever size you want the treat to be, but if they are larger, you’ll get less treats. You can also use paper cups, but you’ll want to pull it off the treat before you give it to the dog.
Proper Storage
Peanut butter banana dog treats can be kept in the freezer for a month or two. I like to keep them on the door of the freezer so I can just grab one whenever we want to give Jessie a little treat.

I’m going to try this recipe
It should be NATURAL peanut butter. Dogs cannot have other types of peanut butter due to brands using xylitol which is extremely toxic.
Can u use oranges instead of banana’s, if not do you know if I could do just oranges and peanut butter as a frozen treat for my baby Mazie?
Oranges would not work the same as bananas.
I won’t recommend using any citrus for your pup, they are higher is sugar and the acidity can be upsetting to their tummies. But you could use 🍓’s or blueberry’s for something different.
Can u use silicone dog molds I stead of plastic cups
Sure!
Going to try this this weekend.
How long will this keep?
They should be fine frozen and we’ll covered for at least a month.
They love them thank you
So glad to hear that!
I love this recipe so much!
I found this by accident. My Lily would love this. Please state how long you can freeze bananas? Since I don’t have blender, I will have to mix it by hand! Lol
I found this just in time for my sweet dogs 15th birthday – it’s a hot day and she is loving her birthday treat ❤️❤️❤️
