Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 large banana, mashed smooth
  • 1 cup of flour (wheat, oat, or all-purpose)
  • 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup of fresh blueberries

Frosting Ingredients

  • 4 ounces of organic cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt
  • 2–3 tablespoons of heavy cream (for thinning)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for baking the pup cakes.
  2. Prepare Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, flour, vegetable oil, egg, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and fresh blueberries. Mix until well incorporated.
  3. Scoop Batter: Grease a mini cupcake tin, then scoop a heaping tablespoon of batter into each cavity, filling them evenly.
  4. Bake: Place the tin in the oven and bake for 8-9 minutes or until the pup cakes feel set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  5. Cool: Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely before adding the frosting.
  6. Make Frosting: Beat the room temperature cream cheese with the Greek yogurt, gradually adding 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream until you achieve a creamy, spreadable consistency.
  7. Frost and Garnish: Spread the frosting on each pup cake and, if desired, garnish with tiny bone-shaped decorations for an adorable finish.

Notes

  • Ensure blueberries are fresh and washed to avoid any contamination.
  • Substitute all-purpose flour with oat or wheat flour for a healthier twist.
  • Egg is essential for binding but can be omitted if your dog has allergies; use a flax egg as a substitute.
  • Do not overbake to keep the pup cakes moist and soft for your pet.
  • Store pup cakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Always consult with your veterinarian before introducing new homemade treats into your dog’s diet.
