Yep! You read that right!

They look like real cupcakes and even have a Milk-Bone that adds a bit of crunchy goodness to it.

And, of course, the cupcakes have a candle to make a wish on WOOF!

Doggie Pupcakes with Peanut Butter and Banana

Yields: 15-18 pupcakes

Ingredients needed:

For the Pupcake:

½ cup creamy peanut butter (I use natural peanut butter - no Xylitol please!)
½ cup vegetable oil
2 medium bananas *If I made these again I would use over-ripe bananas*
⅔ cup honey
2 eggs
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder

For the Creamy Frosting:

4 oz Neufchatel cheese, softened (⅓ less fat cream cheese spread)
½ cup creamy peanut butter
1 T milk

How to make these woofalicious Doggie Pupcakes:

Preheat oven to 350 F

Line your muffin tin with cupcake liners.

In a bowl, combine peanut butter, oil, bananas, honey, and eggs. Mix until smooth.

In another bowl combine flour, baking soda, and baking powder.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring as you go until all ingredients are well combined.

Spoon mixture into paper liners. Fill about ⅔ full.

Bake for 18-20 minutes at 350 F (baking time may vary according to ovens).

While cupcakes are baking you can make your frosting.

Once the cupcakes are done baking, place them on a wire rack until cooled.

Using an electric mixer beat the Neufchatel cheese and peanut butter for about 10 seconds.

Add in your milk and beat until it's a creamy consistency (not runny).

Once your pupcakes have cooled, spread or pipe the frosting on top.

Add a candle!

If it is an extra special occasion, you can even add in a Milkbone for the perfect treat!!

Notes: Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

Let your pup enjoy!
