9 Super-Easy Two-Ingredient Homemade Dog Treats

Bonding with Your Dog
By Hannah Gilman

Two-ingredient dog treats? Easy as one, two—that’s it.

Whole Wheat Flour + Pureed Baby Food

Via Crazed Mom

Pick a healthy meat-and-veggies baby food flavor to appeal to dogs—you can get cool combos like organic chicken-apricot-veggie. Mix, roll, cut, bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Done.

Apples + Greek Yogurt

Via Irresistible Pets

Dice two apples, and remove the seeds and core. Throw in a high-powered blender with 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt, pour into ice cubes, freeze and serve.

Bananas + Oats

Via Glitter Cottage

Three bananas, 3 cups oats! Peel the bananas and mash ’em up, toss in the oats and let them soak, then roll out onto a cookie sheet and bake at 225 degrees for 20 minutes. Flip, bake for another 20, then cut into bite-size pieces.

Pureed Meat + Whole Wheat Flour

Via The Midnight Baker

Puree your choice of meat (yum!) in a high-powered blender, then add in your choice of grain. Roll, cut, bake at 350.

We suggest shaping your pureed meat + grains with dog-themed cookie cutters like these.

Banana + Peanut Butter

Blend one ripe banana with 1/2 cup of unsalted, unsweetened peanut butter and a splash of water. Pour into a silicone mold, freeze, pop and enjoy! (We may sneak one or two for ourselves…)

Need some silicone mold inspiration? We’re big fans of this Mini Paw Silicone Mold for all kinds of doggy treats.

Yogurt + Pumpkin Puree

Via POPSUGAR

Mix 1 cup plain yogurt with 1 cup pumpkin puree in a bowl, pour into ice trays, and freeze. Dog-friendly pumpkin is also a healthy addition to regular meals for good digestion.

Coconut Oil + Brewer’s Yeast

Via Health Starts in the Kitchen

This one was created for flea prevention. Blend 1 1/8 cup coconut oil with 1/2 cup brewer’s yeast, pour into ice trays, and freeze.

Black Beans + Almond Flour

Via Pretty Fluffy

Black bean chips, for pups. Drain 1/2 black beans, then mash. Slowly mix in 1/2 cup almond flour, roll, then pop in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Flip, bake for 15 more, then cut into bite-size pieces.

Chicken + Yogurt

Via Two Healthy Kitchens

Use up your leftover chicken with this one. Finely chop 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, then mix with 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt. Drop spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet and flatten, then freeze and serve.

Can’t get enough? Experiment in your kitchen. Nonfat plain Greek yogurt is a good base to mix with fruit and freeze, as long as your dog isn’t sensitive to dairy. Organic baby food (for humans) is also a great ingredient in DIY dog food.
