Peanut Butter Banana Pupcakes

 We celebrated My Weird Dog Pippen's 11th birthday yesterday.  The lucky pup got to bark along with us as we sang, "Happy Birthday," to him (his favorite song to bark sing).  

I made Pippen a couple of pupcakes for his special day using the recipe below.  The recipe makes mini cupcakes.  I cut the recipe in half and made two large cupcakes.

Here's the recipe:

Peanut Butter Banana Pupcakes

ingredients:

2 T peanut butter

2 TBSP oil

1 medium banana, mashed

2 TBSP honey

1/2 c flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp baking powder

pup-frosting:

1 medium banana, mashed

4 TBSP peanut butter

Instructions:

Oven 350.

Spray 12 mini muffin cups or 2 large muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray.*

Mash banana.  Mix in the oil, peanut butter and honey.  Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder.

Scoop batter into muffin tins until 3/4 full.

Bake 10-15 minutes.  They are done when a toothpick inserted into the middle of the pupcake comes out clean.

Allow pupcakes to cool on wire rack before frosting.

For the pupcake frosting:

In a bowl, mash banana.  The smoother the mashed banana, the smoother the frosting.

Add peanut butter and mix until smooth.

Spread frosting on cooled cupcakes.

Top with a small bone shaped dog treat.

*I used silicone baking cups.  A lot easier to work with, in my opinion.

I cut this recipe in half and made two large pupcakes and they turned out beautifully.
