Ingredients
For the Frozen Pup Cups
- 1 cup pumpkin purée (100% pure pumpkin)
- ¾ cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
- ½ cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free / no birch sugar)
- ½ ripe banana, mashed
- 2–4 tablespoons water, as needed
- 2 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats, optional
Optional Add-Ins
- ¼ cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons finely shredded carrots
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
- A few small banana slices for topping
Instructions
Add the pumpkin purée, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, mashed banana, and optional rolled oats to a blender or mixing bowl.
Blend or stir until the mixture becomes smooth, thick, and creamy. If it’s too thick to spoon easily, add water a tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
Spoon the mixture into silicone muffin cups, paw molds, or other appropriately sized freezer-safe molds.
If desired, press a blueberry, tiny banana slice, or small sprinkle of shredded carrot onto each cup for a decorative finish.
Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until completely solid.
Once frozen, remove the pup cups from their molds and transfer them to an airtight freezer-safe container.
Serve frozen, or allow a cup to soften for a few minutes before serving, especially for smaller dogs who may find a fully frozen treat too hard to comfortably chew right away
