Ingredients

2 cups plain Greek yogurt
1 banana, mashed
1/2 cup peanut butter (make sure it’s xylitol-free)
1/4 cup honey (optional)
1/2 cup blueberries or other dog-friendly fruits
Dog treats for decoration (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the pan by greasing a round cake pan or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, mashed banana, peanut butter, and honey. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Step 3: Gently fold in the blueberries or other dog-friendly fruits, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 4: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
Step 5: Place the cake in the freezer and chill for about 4 hours or until the cake is completely solid.
Step 6: Once set, remove the cake from the pan and allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing. Decorate with dog treats if desired and serve in moderation.

Tips & Variations

Ensure the peanut butter you use is free of xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
You can substitute blueberries with other dog-safe fruits like chopped strawberries or apple pieces.
For a firmer texture, reduce the honey or omit it entirely.
Decorate with your dog’s favorite treats or a sprinkle of shredded carrot for extra crunch.

Storage

Store the cake in the freezer in an airtight container for up to one week. When ready to serve, thaw individual slices in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 10–15 minutes. Avoid leaving the cake out too long to keep it fresh and safe for your dog.
