Why We’re Obsessed with These Frozen Dog Cupcakes 🫐
Let’s be honest — finding healthy dog snacks that aren’t packed with preservatives or mystery meat bits is a struggle. And store-bought frozen options? Overpriced. IMO, you’re basically paying for fancy packaging and a sprinkle of freezer burn.
They’re also a great starting point if you’re curious about making your own dog treats but don’t know where to start. No oven. No stress. Just blend and freeze.
These DIY dog treat recipes are:
- Made with real fruit and yogurt
- Budget-friendly (you probably have most of the stuff already)
- Perfect for summer, dog birthdays, or just because
- Super easy — even if your kitchen skills stop at “microwave level”
- Flexible — you can tweak ingredients or portions to suit your pup
- Fun to make with kids (or just for yourself — no judgment here!)
They also double as enrichment — meaning they mentally stimulate your pup by encouraging natural licking and foraging behaviors. Because frozen treats = longer snack time = a few precious moments of peace while your pup’s happily licking away.
🧁 Berry Cute Frozen Dog Cupcakes Recipe
You’ll Need:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tbsp mashed banana
- 1 silicone muffin tray or paper cupcake liners
Optional: a dog biscuit or tiny bone-shaped cookie for topping — just make sure it’s dog-safe (no xylitol, low sodium, and minimal ingredients are best)
Instructions:
- Toss the yogurt, blueberries, and banana into a blender.
- Blitz until you’ve got a smoothie-style mixture. (Add a splash of water if needed to get it moving.)
- Pour the blend into your silicone molds or cupcake liners.
- Pop them into the freezer for 3–4 hours (or until solid).
That’s it! No baking. No mess. No “is-this-safe-for-dogs” Googling required.
And yes, you can absolutely call them dog cupcakes — even if they’re technically pupsicles in disguise. 🍌🫐
How to Serve Them (and Win Major Tail Wags)
Here’s how you can elevate these dog cupcakes from “cute” to canine couture:
- Straight from the freezer as a hot-day refresher
- With a biscuit topper for extra flair
- In a party setup with paw-ty hats and a dog-safe candle (don’t @ me, I know you’ve thought about it)
- On a lick mat if your pup’s more of a slow-snacker than a chomper
- Stacked like a cupcake tower for special occasions — yes, really
They’re also a hit with guests — both the furry and non-furry kind. Trust me, these have Monty’s paw of approval. 🙂 He once tried to sneak a second helping while I was distracted chatting in the garden. Spoiler alert: he succeeded.
Berry Good Reasons to Try This Recipe
Here’s why these blueberry dog treats are more than just cute:
- Blueberries for dogs = antioxidant powerhouses
- Greek yogurt supports gut health and digestion
- Bananas add natural sweetness and potassium
- No added sugar, no preservatives, no filler
- Easy on sensitive tummies (if your dog tolerates dairy)
- Perfect for pups with picky taste buds
Oh, and did I mention they’re adorable?
🛒 Budget Tip
Frozen fruit works great! You can stock up when it’s on offer — and if your blueberries are a bit mushy, even better. They blend smoother and your dog won’t care about aesthetics (although you might, for that Insta-worthy pic). 😉
Also, buying large tubs of plain Greek yogurt (or making your own) can save a ton over time. Portion them out and you’ve got the base for a bunch of other DIY treats too.
Storage & Make-Ahead Advice
Once frozen, pop the cupcakes out of there trays and transfer them to a sealed container or freezer bag. Label them with the date — not because your dog will care, but future-you will thank you.
Make a batch on Sunday and you’ll have pup treats sorted for weeks (or at least days, depending on your dog’s snack enthusiasm).

FAQs About Blueberry Dog Treats Recipe
1. Can dogs eat blueberries and yogurt?
Yes — in moderation. Blueberries are full of antioxidants, and plain Greek yogurt has probiotics that support your dog’s digestion. Just avoid sweetened or flavored yogurts.
2. How long do frozen dog treats last?
These can keep in the freezer for up to 3 weeks — though if your dog is anything like Monty, they’ll be gone in three days flat.
3. Can I use other fruits?
Definitely! Try swapping blueberries for strawberries or raspberries (just keep portions small, as berries are naturally sugary).
4. Are frozen dog treats okay for puppies?
Yep! Just make sure your puppy tolerates dairy okay. You can also make smaller portions for tiny tummies.
5. What if I don’t have cupcake molds?
Use an ice cube tray, silicone paw molds, or even reusable baby food containers.
6. Can I add other ingredients?
Sure! Just make sure they’re dog-safe. A spoonful of pumpkin purée, a dash of cinnamon (in tiny amounts), or even finely chopped mint can add variety.
