Final Product
Overall, these treats were super simple to make and they came out of my pineapple ice tray really cute! The only thing I would have tried differently was sprinkling a very light layer of flour in the molds before pouring in the peanut butter/coconut oil mixture. It would have made pushing them out so much simpler and made them appear a little neater.
Lady didn’t seem to mind at all…
Keep in mind that these are treats and should be fed to your dogs sparingly! For smaller dogs, I’d say 1/2 treat to a treat a day is safe. Larger dogs can most likely enjoy 1-2 a day.

Written Directions for Frozen Coconut Oil and Peanut Butter Dog Treats
Step 1: Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan
Step 2: Add the peanut butter and cinnamon to the pan and mix. Stir until smooth!
Step 3: Transfer the mix to your ice cube mold. Don’t worry too much about making it perfect. You can easily scrape off the excess.
*Pro-tip* If you’re using a silicone ice tray as I did…learn from my mistakes! Sprinkle a thin layer of flour into each mold so they come out easier after freezing.
Step 4: Toss in the freezer and allow the mixture to set. The mixture tends to freeze within a few hours, but I let mine freeze overnight.
Step 5: Carefully remove the treats from your tray and enjoy!
