Peanut Butter Dog Donuts
Ingredients
Donuts:
1 cup mashed bananas, (about 2 ripe large bananas)
¼ cup creamy peanut butter
¼ cup Kirkland organic virgin coconut oil, melted
1 large egg, room temperature
1 cup whole wheat flour
½ tsp baking soda
Frosting:
8-ounce block of cream cheese
½ cup natural creamy peanut butter
Preheat your oven to 350° F. Grease two 6-cup donut tins with coconut oil. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine mashed bananas, peanut butter, coconut oil, and honey. Mix well. Add egg and beat till fully incorporated. Stir in flour and baking soda until combined.
Transfer batter to prepared donut tins and bake at 350° F for 15 to 20 minutes. While your donuts cool for a few minutes in the pan, combine your 8 oz block of cream cheese with 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter in a bowl and beat until creamy and blended.
