Some dogs love peanut butter, so why not make a dog treat recipe that includes these 30-minute Peanut Butter and Banana Pupcakes.
The last time we made homemade dog food, the response was overwhelming! Your dogs are clearly just as excited about healthy homemade dog treats as my dogs, Ruby and Callie!
This time, we’re whipping up some peanut butter and banana pupcakes. We can’t wait to see what you guys think!
Not only are these pupcakes healthy and simple, but the ingredients sued are very inexpensive. That makes this dog treat recipe a splendid choice if you’re trying to save money on your treats for your pup.
Since the dog treat recipe uses peanut butter, you’ll want to make sure that any dogs you give these treats to don’t have any peanut allergies.
If you are like me, you probably enjoy cooking and baking for yourself, and you want to give your dog food that tastes great.
One recipe that is most popular with most dogs is the peanut butter and banana combination. Whether it’s pupcakes, doggie breads or biscuits, trust me, your dog will love it.
The peanut butter adds protein to the dog treat recipe, while the banana adds fiber.
I believe that the food we give our dogs doesn’t just keep them healthy, but gets them excited to scarf them down the minute they are ready to eat! It’s also why I was so excited to get home and whip up a batch of dog cupcakes!
