Ingredients
- ½ cup sweet potato puree

- ¼ cup natural peanut butter
Directions
Place silicone molds, like these cute paw and bone shaped molds, on a baking sheet.
Add the sweet potato puree, Greek yogurt, and peanut butter to a mixing bowl. Mix well.
Spoon into the prepared molds.
Place in the freezer for 4 hours or until frozen.
Remove the treats from the molds and store in an airtight container, like a zipper bag, in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Don’t forget to give one to your dog! If they’re anything like my dogs, their tail will be wagging for these treats!
Tips
Placing the molds on a cookie sheet before filling makes them easier to transport to the freezer.
If you don’t have silicone molds, an ice cube tray works well too.
You can use homemade sweet potato puree or baby food sweet potatoes. Just be sure that the baby food contains only sweet potatoes and water, no added ingredients.
The consistency of these treats will vary based on how watery the sweet potato puree is. My sweet potato puree was very thick, so my treats were thick as well. Baby food sweet potatoes will make the treat more runny. Either consistency is fine.
One of the best parts of making homemade dog treats is that you can control the size. Use smaller molds for little dogs or larger molds for big pups.
