Peanut Butter Pupcakes

Our favorite doodle turned 7 on the first of August!  So hard to believe he's already that old.  Seems like we were just bringing that sweet pup home from Miami, Oklahoma at 5 weeks old.  How cute is puppy Bear??


Big Bear is pretty cute too



We sure love this dog! And what kind of fur mom would I be if I didn't make my Bear some special treats for his birthday?  I found this recipe on pinterest for pupcakes, and omg they were so good that I didn't want to share with Bear.  Yes, of course I tried them myself!

Ingredients

Pupcakes
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 medium bananas mashed
2/3 cup honey
2 large eggs
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder

Frosting
4 oz neufchatel cheese, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 tsp milk

Directions
Pupcakes
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease mini muffin pans.
In a mixer, beat peanut butter, oil, bananas, honey, and eggs until just combined.
Gradually add flour, baking soda, and baking powder and mix well.  Spoon batter into muffin tins until about 3/4 full.
Bake for about 8-12 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Check on these frequently as oven temps may vary a bit and you do not want to burn them.  Remove from tins and allow to cool before frosting.
Frosting
Combine peanut butter, neufchatel cheese, and milk until smooth.  Top each pupcake with frosting and add sprinkles if you want.
