Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas (150g/5oz after peeling, ~2/3 cup mashed)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or creamy, xylitol-free)
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose or wholewheat flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup vegetable, canola, peanut, or olive oil
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 500g / 1lb potatoes (peeled and cut into 2 cm/1″ pieces)
  • 2 tbsp honey (for frosting)
  • 1/2 cup plain low-fat unsweetened yogurt or sour cream
  • 24 tbsp water (for frosting consistency)
  • 12 small dog bone biscuits (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) or 160°C (320°F fan). Line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Mash ripe bananas in a bowl until mostly smooth.
  3. Add peanut butter, 1/3 cup honey, and eggs to the mashed bananas. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Mix in flour, baking powder, oil, and 3/4 cup water. Whisk until the batter is smooth.
  5. Divide batter evenly into cupcake liners, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 22 minutes, or until golden and a skewer comes out clean.
  7. Cool cupcakes completely on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Boil peeled potato pieces in water for 20 minutes until very soft.
  9. Drain potatoes and return to the pot. Add yogurt, 2 tbsp honey, and 2 tbsp water.
  10. Beat with an electric mixer on speed 3 for 1 minute, then speed 5 for another minute until silky smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed for a spreadable consistency.
  11. Transfer frosting to a piping bag with a 1.5cm round nozzle. Pipe swirls onto cooled cupcakes.
  12. Decorate with a dog bone biscuit if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure peanut butter is xylitol-free and has no added sugars or salt.
  • Whole wheat flour can be substituted for all-purpose flour for added fiber.
  • Use other piping nozzles for different frosting textures.
  • All ingredients must be safe for dogs; avoid toxic additives like xylitol.
  • Serve these cupcakes as treats in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
