Transcript
0:00It's Biscuit's birthday and we're making pupcakes — banana peanut butter mini muffins with cream cheese frosting.
0:40Mash one ripe banana until smooth. Stir in two tablespoons xylitol-free peanut butter and one egg.
1:30Fold in half a cup of whole wheat flour until just combined. Lumpy is fine — you're not making cake for humans.
2:15Mini muffin tin, liners, two-thirds full. Eighteen minutes at 350. Cool completely before frosting — this is non-negotiable.
3:20Beat plain cream cheese until smooth. Pipe or spread onto the cooled pupcakes. Happy birthday, good dog.
Tips
- Never use human frosting — most contain xylitol which is toxic to dogs.
- Refrigerate frosted pupcakes and use within 3 days.
