Pupcakes Recipe

Our dogs are important members of our family. We love to celebrate them and I think a great way to do that is to make them a special birthday treat! I found a recipe that’s easy, quick and I have made them for my own puppies and they loved them! Here is the recipe!

Ingredients:

Cupcakes

-2 tbsp natural peanut butter

-2 tbsp oil

-1 medium banana (mashed)

-2 tbsp honey

-1/2 cup flour

-1/2 tsp baking soda

-1/4 baking powder

Frosting

-1 medium banana (mashed)

– 4 tbsp peanut butter

Cupcake recipe:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or use paper muffin cups.
2. 2. Mash one banana
3. Mix banana, oil, peanut butter and honey in a mixing bowl.
4. Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Stir to combine.
5. Scoop batter into muffin tin until each one is ¾ full.
6. Bake for 10-15 minutes. The cupcakes are done when a toothpick is inserted in the middle comes out clean.
7. Allow cupcakes to cool for 5 minutes then remove them from the pan.  Allow to cool completely before frosting.

Frosting recipe:

1. Mash remaining banana. The smoother you mash it the smoother the frosting will be.
2. Add peanut butter and mix until smooth.
3. Spread frosting on cooled cupcakes.
4. Top with small dog treat for a little extra!
