Ingredients
- 1 banana, ripe
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (natural) and unsweetened
- 1/2 cup peanut butter powder
- 1/2 cups oda water
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 medium ripe banana
- 1/4 cup peanut butter powder
Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) degrees and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or grease it well.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the banana with a fork.
- Add the egg and peanut butter and mix well.
- Add the peanut flour and water. Stir until you have a smooth batter, adding any additional water if the mixture is too stiff. The batter should be thick but pourable.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a pupcake comes out clean. Keep an eye on them, as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
- Once the pupcakes are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, add the banana and mash.
- Add two to three tablespoons of water to the peanut flour to make a paste.
- Add the peanut paste to the banana with cream cheese and mix into a smooth frosting.
- Spoon or pipe the frosting on top of the pupcakes.
- Optional decorations can be a slice of banana and small baked dog treat.
Substitutions
- Use pumpkin puree instead of mashed banana
- Replace cream cheese with thick Greek yogurt
- Substitute soda water with plain water
