18 Dog Treats
1 cup pure pumpkin puree (unsweetened, not pumpkin pie filling)
½ cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, xylitol-free)
1 tablespoon natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)
¼ cup water (optional, to thin mixture if needed)
In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, and peanut butter.
Mix thoroughly until the ingredients form a smooth, creamy consistency.
If the mixture feels too thick, add a small amount of water and stir again.
Spoon the mixture into bone-shaped silicone molds or small ice cube trays.
Smooth the tops with a spoon or spatula.
Place the molds in the freezer for 3–4 hours, or until completely solid.
Once frozen, pop the treats out of the molds and store them for later.
Store the treats in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer.
They will stay fresh for up to 2 months when frozen.
If stacking treats, place a sheet of parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
Always serve frozen or slightly chilled to keep their refreshing texture.
