Description
Banana Peanut Butter Muffins for Dogs are a healthy, homemade treat packed with dog-friendly ingredients. Soft, naturally sweet, and easy to make, these muffins are perfect for all pups.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour for a gluten-free option)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup water or unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or lightly grease with coconut oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
- Mix in peanut butter, egg, and applesauce. Stir until well combined.
- Gradually add in whole wheat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon (if using). Stir gently to combine, adding water or almond milk as needed for a smooth batter.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow muffins to cool completely before serving. For an extra treat, spread a small dollop of peanut butter on top before giving one to your pup.
Notes
- Ensure the peanut butter used is xylitol-free, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
- For a gluten-free option, use oat flour instead of whole wheat flour.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- If your dog prefers a crunchier texture, bake for a few extra minutes.
- Mini muffins can be made by reducing the baking time to 10-12 minutes.
