These 2 Ingredient Frozen Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats are an amazing snack for your furry friend. All natural and organic, these easy treats will leave your pup feeling healthy and happy!
Frozen Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats
I’m switching things up a bit today with a different kind of recipe. This one is for our four legged doggy friends. However, despite the fact that I meant it for dogs, we humans could eat it too. In fact, you could eat it alongside your dog. The hubs does. 🙂
I decided to make these treats when I realized I’ve been posting all these great frozen summer treats – like the Mint Oreo Brownie Ice Cream Cake, Lemon Icebox Pie, and Snickers Peanut Butter Brownie Ice Cream Cake – and I’m leaving out my favorite furry friend – our sweet black lab, Jessie! She gets hot during the summer too! Maybe even more than we do! After all, she has lots of pretty, thick black hair.
We normally buy her frozen doggy ice cream treats at the grocery store. But after falling in love with the ease of One Ingredient Banana Ice Cream, I decided I could totally use that as the base for a really tasty and healthy dog treat. Plus, it’s cheaper to make myself. 🙂
And they are so easy to make. Once you’ve made your banana ice cream from frozen bananas, you add some peanut butter, then freeze. Does it get any easier?!
I topped mine off with a little doggie treat for decoration, but that’s totally optional. 🙂
The hardest part (for both of us!) was making her wait to eat them until after I’d taken pictures. She was waiting as patiently as she could but once she got it, it didn’t stand a chance.
I’d say she liked it. 🙂

My dog will love this!!
Now I’m afraid of the peanut butter. How can I be sure it doesn’t have Xylitol in it? I don’t always believe labels. What brand do you use?
Anyone making this recipe or others with peanut butter, please make sure your peanut butter doesn’t contain Xylitol!
‘Xylitol, a sweetener used in many foods, including peanut butter, yogurt, toothpaste and chewing gum, is safe for humans but potentially deadly for dogs. If ingested, it can cause seizures, liver failure and death, warned one animal hospital, which called xylitol “extremely toxic” to dogs’
Love this recipes so much my dogs do too!!! Sometimes if I don’t feel like eating all those calories fat and sugar I just make some for myself. LOL. My dogs love it too I make it one every a week for them. And it seems like there weight is going down. This is such an amazing reciepe.❤️
That’s awesome! I”m so glad you and the dogs enjoyed!
Thanks! My dog loves these!
Mine too! I’m so glad the pup enjoyed the treats!
I’ve been doing this for my dogs for years! They love it! I have been using ice cube trays though because one of my dogs was very small (she passed recently) it was a perfect serving. I simply mashed any bananas they did not eat and we’re getting to ripe with their favorite crunchy (creamy is fine) PB. Fill the trays and pop them in the freezer. You can put non stick cooking spray or use a napkin and a dab of cooking oil to line the tray for a much easier removal process and store them in a freezer bag! Nava loves fruit but I’ve yet to experiment with other blends. Such a great way to keep them cool in summer, super easy to make, and healthy! Glad someone else had this idea!
Ah, okay. I just wondered if there was perhaps some sort of thing that could only be achieved by pre-freezing, blending, and re-freezing. Like maybe it would effect the texture or consistency or something. My parents also have a lab and he’s maybe 60lbs whereas my pit bull and American bulldog are ~75lbs and ~95lbs respectively. I guess I’m just used to most people having smaller dogs than I do. Lol! That serving size ought to be just fine for these two. Better too little than too much, at least for my two. Neither looks like they’ve missed any meals, that’s for sure! ???? I’m hoping making them homemade might not only reduce the price but also the fat content.
Love this recipe!! My pup loves when I leave chunks of banana in it!
Is it necessary to slice and freeze the bananas before blending them up and adding in the peanut butter or could you just toss in the bananas, blend til smooth, add in the peanut butter and blend til it’s mixed well, and then pour it into cups to freeze it? I generally use my Ninja for everything that needs to be blended/mixed/crushed/etc. How big is your dog? Can you give me an approximate serving size for this for her?
You could probably just freeze it after blending it all and it’d be fine. Our dog is a 90 lb labrador. I usually make about 4 treats out of this. You could adjust that if you’re dog is smaller.
Currently making these for my puppy! Waiting for them to freeze but he loved licking the spoon Lol. They look so good, and Bunker the Pup approves!
Hi can I mash the bananas instead of putting it in a food processor because I dnt have one.
Yes, definitely. I’ve done that before when I don’t feel like pulling out the food processor 🙂
Bannas and peanut butter are my dogs favorites things!! ( and cheese)
I use a container non fat regular yogurt, 2 mashed banana , half cup natural peanut butter. Fill ice cube trays fromblender and freeze. What’s left I add granola and eat myself. Very healthy recipe for the pups
Oh I love these! I made some treats like this with greek yogurt & peanut butter for my pup, but I didn’t think about bananas!
This is too cute! I’ll have to try this for my dog. 🙂
