Ollie turns five tomorrow and that’s cause to celebrate! He’s our favorite little clown, who loves to sing, still suckles his “Precious” fleece toy, bounces like a little jumping bean when he sees his favorite humans, and he always has time for a good bum scratch!
We adopted him when he was just 13 weeks old, a puppy mill rescue with a special back foot. He has been a great side kick for Stevie and keeps us all laughing!
In honor of his birthday I created a frozen dog treat recipe, which was really easy to make and only has four all-natural ingredients!
Banana Pup Cakes
makes 7 frozen treats
Ingredients
2 – ripe bananas
1 – 4 oz container of unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup of buttermilk
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Steps
1. Mash ripe bananas in a medium size bowl with a fork.
2. Add remaining ingredients and combine using a spatula.
3. Place cupcake liners in a muffin pan.
4. Spoon the batter into the muffin pan, filling cups a generous half full. (I got 7 frosty treats out of my batter.)
5. Place in the freezer, our treats were frozen solid in 2 hours.
Notes
- These treats are great for pups with allergies, Stevie is intolerant to all things poultry, they are vegetarian, wheat, and soy free.
- If you have difficulty removing the frozen treats from the muffin pan, just flip the pan over and run warm water on it for a few seconds.
- The cupcakes wrappers are easy to remove and just peel off, no need for non-stick spray.
- If you are running out of room in your freezer, 6 of these treats fit in a loaf pan, and would save space.
