Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- ½ cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened, no salt, no xylitol)
- 1–2 eggs (to desired texture)
Optional Add-Ins
- A tiny sprinkle of cinnamon (small amounts, dog-safe)
- 1 tablespoon oat flour (for firmer texture)
Instructions
- Get Ready: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a small cake pan or line it with parchment paper. Prepare the bananas by peeling and mashing them, and have the peanut butter and eggs ready.
- Mix the Batter: In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the peanut butter and eggs, then stir together until well combined. Use a hand mixer if you prefer a smoother consistency.
- Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thicker batter, add a spoonful of oat flour and mix until smooth and pourable.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and tap gently on the counter to remove air bubbles. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick—it should come out clean when the cake is cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Cut into small bite-sized pieces suitable for your dog’s chewing ability. Optionally, top with a smear of peanut butter or mashed banana.
- Keep It Dog-Friendly: Ensure the cake is fully cooked to avoid raw egg consumption. The texture should be soft but not overly crumbly for easy eating.
Notes
- Use only peanut butter free of xylitol, salt, and sugar to avoid toxicity.
- Ripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture, making added sugar unnecessary.
- Introduce new ingredients gradually to monitor for allergies or sensitivities.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days or freeze for longer storage.
- For egg-free baking, substitute 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons water, let rest before adding to batter.
- Microwave baking is possible: use a microwave-safe container, start with 2–3 minutes, and check for firmness and doneness.
- Do not use chocolate, artificial sweeteners, or added sugars in any dog recipe.
