PEANUT BUTTER BANANA PUPCAKES

We absolutely love pancakes and peanut butter so this is the best breakfast we could ask for. Mom likes to make us these because peanut butter is a good source of protein for us and because we love it so much. Bananas are good for us too because they’re high in potassium, vitamin B6, and vitamin C; however, bananas are high in sugar so don’t give your pup too many. Mom just tops our pancakes with banana instead of making it a core part of the batter. ​

FOR THE PANCAKES

• 1 medium egg
• 1/2 cup of low-fat milk
• 1/2 cup of all purpose flour
• 2 tablespoon low sodium peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons of polenta
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
• 3 tablespoons of water
• Cooking spray (as needed)

FOR THE PEANUT BUTTER DRIZZLE

• 2 tablespoons peanut butter

FOR SERVING

• 1 banana

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, polenta, water, and peanut butter. Stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture.

Next, heat a griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and spray the griddle with cooking oil. Use a 1/3 cup measure to ladle the batter onto the griddle. Cook until tiny bubbles pop up through the pancakes and the edges become light brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side. Continue making the pancakes and spraying the griddle with more cooking spray between batches.

Stack 2 or 3 pancakes on a a plate.

To make the peanut butter drizzle but 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in a microwave safe container and microwave for 15-20 seconds. Next, scoop some peanut butter out with a spoon and drizzle on top of the pancakes. Slice a banana and sprinkle on top of the pancakes.

Enjoy!
