Ingredients
Scale
Donut Batter
- 1 cup mashed bananas (about 2 ripe large bananas)
- 1/4 cup (65 g) natural creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup (52 g) coconut oil, melted
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 cup (125 g) whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Peanut Butter Frosting
- 1/2 cup (142 g) Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup (65 g) natural creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350° F (175° C). Lightly grease two 6-cup donut tins to prevent sticking and set them aside for use later.
- Make Donut Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, 1/4 cup peanut butter, melted coconut oil, and honey. Stir these ingredients thoroughly until fully blended. Crack in the egg and continue mixing until the egg is fully incorporated into the mixture. Finally, gently fold in the whole wheat flour and baking soda just until everything is combined without overmixing.
- Fill Donut Tins and Bake: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared donut tins, filling each cavity almost to the top. Place the tins in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean. Once baked, allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare Peanut Butter Frosting: While the donuts cool, prepare the frosting by mixing the Greek yogurt and 1/4 cup peanut butter together in a bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy, forming a spreadable frosting.
- Frost the Donuts: Use a knife or offset spatula to spread the peanut butter frosting generously over the cooled donuts. Optionally, sprinkle with crushed biscuits for added texture and appeal.
- Serve: Serve the frosted donuts to your dog as a delicious and nutritious treat, perfect for special occasions or everyday rewards.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients such as peanut butter are free from xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- Use natural, creamy peanut butter without added sugar or salt for the healthiest option.
- Allow the donuts to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting or sliding off.
- This recipe is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Always introduce new treats in moderation and monitor your dog for any adverse reactions.
