Today my sweet Abigail turned 1, and I cannot believe how time flies. We rescued Abigail when she was 4 months, and she is a ball of fire, making us laugh everyday. I tried a new recipe for “pupcakes” and it is Abigail approved (we enjoyed them also). Abigail’s are the ones with the dog bones in them.
The recipe was very easy and the ingredients are already in everyone’s pantry. You should stop over to this incredibly cute food blog, We are not Martha, and try this recipe out.
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (I use natural, unsalted)
- 1/2 cup mashed banana
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup water
- 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
-
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a mini muffin/cupcake tin.
-
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, old-fashioned oats, and baking powder.
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream together peanut butter and mashed banana. Mix in eggs.
-
Mix in flour mixture, alternating with water, until just combined.
-
Fill mini muffin tin cavities about 3/4 of the way with batter.
-
Bake for 6-8 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean.
-
Let cool in tin for a few minutes before moving to wire racks to cool completely.
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, combine cream cheese and peanut butter and beat together until creamy.
-
Fit a pastry bag with tip (I used a Wilton 2D) and fill bag with frosting.
-
Pipe frosting onto each cupcake and top with an additional dog treat, if you desire.
