Banana Peanut Butter Pupcakes Recipe Overview

When my vizsla turned one I was looking for easy dog birthday cupcake recipes to celebrate surviving our first year!!

We’d made it through the potty training, sharkie biting stage, crate training and endless trips to the vet for mysterious illnesses and we wanted to celebrate our vizsla’s birthday.

Like many vizslas, ours has a sensitive stomach, so I wanted to find healthy and easy pupcakes recipes. But I struggled to find any that didn’t include loads of sugar, frosting and a huge list of ingredients.

So I made my own cupcake recipe for dogs – and here it is!

These dog friendly cupcakes contain only natural ingredients and 2 of the most popular doggie flavors – banana and peanut butter.

They are perfect if you are looking for an easy dog birthday cake. But why only give them once a year! Doggie cupcakes are also great as special treats any time of year.

Peanut Butter Banana Dog Cupcakes Ingredients

To make these puppy cupcakes you will need:

• Smooth peanut butter
• Ripe banana
• Honey
• Oat flour
• Wheat flour
• Baking powder
• Egg
• Water

Important: Make sure the peanut butter does not contain the artificial sweetener, Xylitol. Xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs and unfortunately many sugar free products contain it.

You will also need a muffin tray. I used a regular size muffin tray, but you could also use a mini muffin tray for a batch of mini pup cakes.

How To Make Banana and Peanut Butter Pupcakes

In a medium sized bowl add your banana and mash with a fork.

Add the peanut butter, honey and egg to the bowl with the banana and mix with a spoon until combined.

Then add both flours and the baking powder. Mix well.

Finally add the water to the bowl and stir to combine.

Lightly grease your muffin tray (or use muffin liners) and fill each hole with the pupcake mix until 2/3 full.

Pop in a medium oven (350 F / 180 C) for around 20 minutes or until cooked and nice and brown on top.

Leave in the tray for a few minutes then pop onto a wire rack to cool completely.

If you use muffin liners, remove them once the muffins are cool in order to serve to your pup.

How To Serve Peanut Butter Doggie Cupcakes

I like to simply top the cupcake with my dog’s favorite treat – a milk bone or a piece of jerky are great options.

Be warned your pup is likely to eat the tasty pupcake in one or two bites, so be ready to take that photograph before you let them loose on the pupcake!!

If you would like to serve these dog muffins as a doggie birthday cake, top each cupcake with a dog friendly frosting.

I usually combine 1/2 cup softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup dog friendly peanut butter and 1 tablespoon greek yogurt. Pipe or spread the mix onto each pupcake and serve.

How To Store Puppy Cupcakes

Store your pupcakes in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

They can also be frozen – simply wrap well (or pop them in a zip lock bag) and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

3. In a medium sized bowl mash the banana with a fork.
4. Add the peanut butter, honey and egg to the banana and mix well.

Notes

1. Check the ingredients for your peanut butter and ensure it does not contain xylitol - an artificial sweetener that is dangerous for dogs.

3. If your dog follows a wheat free diet or has a gluten intolerance, simply replace the wheat flour with oat flour.
