Birthday Peanut Butter Banana Pupcake for Elvis

Our wild and crazy pup Elvis turned one this month! Naturally, we had to celebrate with a doggie party filled with music, toys, treats, and a special dog friendly birthday cake made with his favorites, bananas and peanut butter (just like the real Elvis too!). This cake is easy to throw together and looks too cute topped with mini bone treats on top! You can frost with regular creamy peanut butter (I like Jif, just make sure no Xylitol in the ingredients) or make a creamier topping with plain yogurt and pb.

Elvis loved it and it was plenty big enough to slice up share with his brother Cooper! 

Scroll down for the recipe and photos.

Peanut Butter Banana Pupcake 

1 ripe large banana, mashed

2 tbsp creamy peanut butter (I like Jif, be sure to check for no Xylitol)

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1 egg

1/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats

1/2 tsp baking powder

Frosting:

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup plain yogurt, optional -see notes

1/4 cup mini Milkbone dog treats, for topping

Directions:

  1. Preheat  350 degrees.
  2. Add all cake ingredients to a large bowl.
  3. Mix everything together with a rubber spatula until well combined. 
  4. Press into a greased large ramekin or small round baking dish.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until browned and solid.
  6. Let cool then remove to a plate to frost (optional). 
  7. Prepare your frosting or just use peanut butter. Spread on the top and sides of the cake in a thick layer.
  8. Decorate the top and sides of the cake with bone shaped dog treats. 
  9. Serve whole or in slices to your happy pup(s)!

Peel a large ripe banana then mash with a fork until smooth.

Add all cake ingredients to a large bowl. 

My little helper Ava loves to bake with me!

I use peanut butter in both the cake and frosting. I like creamy JIF brand.

Any brand will work as long as it has no Xylitol sweetener which is poisonous to dogs. 

Mix everything together with a rubber spatula until well combined. 

Press into a greased large ramekin or small round baking dish.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until browned and solid.

Let cool then remove to a plate to frost (optional). 

I frosted our cake with just peanut butter but you could also do a mix of peanut butter and plain yogurt as a frosting. 

Add frosting in a thick layer on top and sides.

How cute are these mini Milkbone dog treats?!

Decorate the top and sides of the cake with bone shaped dog treats. 

How cute is the final product?

We found a cake shaped dog cookie and stuffed cake toy for him too!

Elvis had to sniff it and make sure it was a treat first. 

He loved those treats on top…and all that peanut butter!

Ready to dig in!

Serve whole or in slices to your happy pup(s)!

Big brother, always there to help you finish your dessert!

Happy 1st birthday Elvis!

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear

🌟I had to step out of my comfort zone today and attend my first networking event since moving to Arkansas. I already  struggle with meeting new people and being social since I work from home but now I live in a new city and know no one. Thank goodness I found @winnwa . The networking lunch today at @bonefishgrill was exciting, encouraging, and of course, fun! Over 80 local business women attended and everyone had a chance to introduce themselves and share what they do. I look forward to more  #womeninnetworking events in the future. Hoping to make some new friends too!
➡️ Swipe to see what I left with..... Bang Bang Shrimp, of course!🦐 #winnwa #smallbusinessowner #workfromhome #bloggerlife #arkansasblogger #nwarkansas #bonefishgrill #networking
