Pumpkin Peanut Butter Frozen Dog Treats

Peanut butter pumpkin frozen dog treats Dog licking treat

These treats are made with simple, wholesome ingredients like pure pumpkin puree, natural peanut butter, and greek yogurt. Below I also provide the health benefits of these ingredients and give you tips on what to avoid. Our dog, Maggie, loved these treats and I am sure yours will, too!

Maggie approves!

Ingredients and Health Benefits:

  • Pumpkin Puree: Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree (organic, if possible), not canned pumpkin pie. Canned pumpkin pie has sugar, preservatives, and other additives that you do not want to give your dog. You can also make your own pumpkin puree from roasted pumpkins. Pumpkin is a good source of fiber and the anti-oxidant beta-carotene.
  • Non-fat Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt is easier for dogs to consume because it has less lactose. You want non-fat or low-fat PLAIN greek yogurt. This is a good source of protein, calcium, and probiotics. Check the label to make sure there are no sugars or other additives. Xylitol, an artificial sweetener, is toxic to dogs. Do not use flavored yogurt, “fruit at the bottom,” full-fat, or anything chocolate-flavored.
  • Unsalted, natural peanut butter: As in the stuff that separates! Check the label to make sure it is only peanuts and less than 1% salt. A lot of peanut butters have added sugar and palm oil. You do not want those. Peanut butter is excellent source of protein and healthy fats, vitamins B and E, and niacin. I have never met a dog that didn’t love peanut butter!
  • Organic cinnamon: Just a teeny, tiny pinch (optional). Cinnamon is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Do not under any circumstances use nutmeg.
This recipe only uses four simple ingredients.
Use room temperature ingredients! Room temperature ingredients will mix smoother and will be easier spread in the paw print mold.

Resources

I am not a veterinarian. Talk to you veterinarian about your dog’s diet. In addition to reading the labels and making sure all the ingredients are safe for dogs, I also read these articles:

  • “Can Dogs Eat Yogurt?” by the American Kennel Club
  • “Can Dogs Eat Peanut Butter?” by the American Kennel Club
  • “Can Dogs Eat Cinnamon?” by the American Kennel Club
  • “Is Cinnamon Bad for Dogs?” by Wild Earth.

In general, treats should make up less than 10% of your dogs diet…. now if only I followed the same rules for myself! hehe

Here is the link for the cute paw print molds. The bones are also cute!

      Hi Leann! It is best to store them in the freezer. They would get too soft in the fridge and they would lose their shape. Thank you for pointing that out- I will update the recipe!

Happy Easter! 🐰 I posted this new recipe for a Happy Easter! 🐰 I posted this new recipe for a Tropical Coconut Carrot Cake Loaf and I think you will love it!

The cake batter is filled with shredded carrots and warm spices but it also has mashed bananas in it (a trick I learned from @ambitiouskitchen). The bananas add sweetness and moisture, giving the cake a perfect texture. I topped it with a coconut buttercream and toasted coconut flakes to complement the banana. 

Check out AnchoredBaking.com for the recipe! I hope you give it a try :)

Happy Mardi Gras! 💜💛💚 Today would be a gr Happy Mardi Gras! 💜💛💚 Today would be a great day to make these vanilla bean beignets with passion fruit curd. Hardly "traditional" but one of my favorite recipes I have ever published. The beignets have a fluffy, pillowy texture and the curd is a nice tangy complement to the sweet dough. I also wrote about the history of beignets on AnchoredBaking.com if you want to learn more :)

Fromage Blanc, Honeycomb, and Fig Viennoiserie fro Fromage Blanc, Honeycomb, and Fig Viennoiserie from The Pastry School by @julie_jonesuk 

Fig season is short but it is sweet! This pastry has a flaky, buttery crunch, fig jam, fromage blanc, and honeycomb. Each bite is filled with delicious flavors. Julie's instructions for the laminated dough were super clear and easy to follow. Check out my stories to see how these were prepped for baking -- I do wish I had something heavier than beans!

I ran all over town looking for fromage blanc (thank you @thecheeseshop!) but I think goat cheese would be just as yummy. I also thought about adding some toasted walnuts to the filling. Luckily, I know I will be making these again so I will try next time :)

Julie's book is full of creative and beautiful recipes - nothing short of artwork! This cookbook would make a great gift for the bakers in your life that like "projects" ;) Thank you, @chubbeekitchen, for showcasing this book and influencing my purchase! You can check out her page to see a bunch of other recipes she made from this cookbook.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving :) Wha I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving :) What was your favorite thing that you made?

We started the day with a slice of the pumpkin tea cake from @lizprueitt_tartine. It was the perfect recipe to break in my new @nordicwareusa pan- I love the wheat detail and the scalloped edges 😍

We cooked our turkey in a Hawaiian imu- I will do a dedicated post on the process and what we learned next week! 

Wishing you all a restful long weekend with your loved ones :)

Mango Coconut Cheesecake Aloha from Maui where it Mango Coconut Cheesecake

Aloha from Maui where it is definitely NOT fall 😉

This cheesecake has a coconut graham cracker crust which is a subtle but pleasant surprise. The cheesecake batter is made with cream cheese and coconut milk making it extra creamy and delicious! I am most excited about the mango gelée layer which is made with mango puree and gelatine. It offers a nice fruity flavor, a complementing texture, and a beautiful smooth display. I dreamed of this cheesecake for a long time and I am so happy with the way it came out. I hope you love this recipe :)

Check out AnchoredBaking.com where I am also talking about all the different kinds of mangos you can find on Hawai'i. These mangos are from Yee's Orchard stand and they are so sweet and juicy. Best mangos I have ever found! Do you have any favorite mango recipes?

It is still in the high 80s here in Maui with plenty of sunshine and warm waters! I am not ready for all this pumpkin spice. Are you ready for fall baking?

Today is Julia Child's birthday! She would have be Today is Julia Child's birthday! She would have been 109 years old. In celebration, I made one of her favorite desserts- Crêpes Suzette!

You start by making a stack of crêpes. Then you coat each crêpe in a caramelized orange butter sauce, fold them in quarters, sprinkle them with sugar and flablé with orange liqueur and brandy. This is traditionally done tableside because it is quite a show with the flames!

I recently finished reading "My Life in France" co-authored by Julia Child and Alex Prud'homme (her husband's brother's grandson). This book gave me a whole new appreciation for her perspective on life. You could just feel her joy and sense of humor. I highly recommend reading it :) This book also details the writing process for Mastering the Art of French Cooking (which includes this recipe for Crêpes Suzette). It is fascinating and might just be my new favorite book.

Check out my post today on AnchoredBaking.com to learn more about Julia Child and my experience making this dessert. Bon Appétit!
