Back to school season is upon us. Fall is right around the corner. So, ‘tis the season for fresh starts, learning curves, and a new fall outfit to wear. Plus, these Banana Bread Pupcakes are the perfect way to kick off your new season with the dog you love.
WHY WE LOVE THESE PUPCAKES
It’s the banana for me. Bananas are not only a sweet treat for your dog, but they’re also high in potassium, vitamins, biotin, and fiber. The peanut butter frosting adds an extra layer of flavor and the pinch of cinnamon gives these Banana Bread Pupcakes a fun Fall snap.
WHEN TO BAKE THESE PUPCAKES
Speaking of back to school, these Banana Bread Pupcakes are a great treat for your dog as a reward for learning something new. Waiving a pupcake in your dog’s face is always a great incentive to learn a new trick or two.
BAKING BARKFIRMATION
“I show up and bake.” Learning something new is about consistency and showing up. You get better every time you try and grow with every practice. With every pupcake you bake, you get better with it.
