Homemade Dog Frosting Recipe
Easy Homemade Dog Frosting recipe using yogurt, peanut butter, and honey—safe, healthy, and irresistibly creamy for dogs.
Equipment
- Medium mixing bowl
- Electric hand mixer or stand mixer (optional, but helpful)
- Rubber spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons.
- Piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped
- Storage container for leftovers
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt unsweetened
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter no xylitol, no added sugar
- 1 teaspoon honey optional, for a hint of sweetness
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil optional, for extra creaminess
- A few drops of vanilla extract optional, ensure it’s safe for dogs
Instructions
Step 1: Combine the Ingredients
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt and peanut butter. If you’re using honey or coconut oil, add them now. Mix together with a rubber spatula until mostly combined.
Step 2: Blend Until Smooth
- For an extra creamy frosting, use a hand mixer or stand mixer on low speed to blend the mixture until smooth. This will make it easy to pipe or spread on your dog treats.
Step 3: Optional Flavoring
- If using vanilla extract, add a tiny drop and mix again. Remember, only a safe, dog-friendly amount is needed. This step is optional but can enhance the flavor for some picky pups.
Step 4: Frost Your Treats
- Use a spoon, spatula, or piping bag to apply the frosting to dog-friendly cupcakes, cookies, or even frozen treats. Be creative! Your pup will love the special touch.
Step 5: Chill or Serve
- You can serve the frosting immediately, or chill it for 15–20 minutes to firm it up slightly. For hot days, you can even freeze small dollops for a refreshing snack.
Notes
- Always check the ingredients to make sure there’s nothing toxic to dogs (no xylitol, chocolate, or artificial sweeteners).
- Adjust the consistency by adding more yogurt to thin it or more peanut butter to thicken it.
- For piped designs, chill the frosting briefly to help it hold its shape.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
