Equipment
- Mixing bowl (medium to large)
- Fork or potato masher (for bananas)
- Measuring cups and spoons.
- Whisk or wooden spoon
- Cake pan (6-inch or 8-inch round works best)
- Parchment paper or non-stick spray

Ingredients
For the cake:
- 1 ripe banana mashed
- ½ cup natural peanut butter xylitol-free, unsweetened
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup whole wheat flour or oat flour for sensitive tummies
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons water or unsalted bone broth
Optional dog-friendly frosting:
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt unsweetened
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mash the banana until smooth. A few small lumps are totally fine.
- Add the peanut butter, egg, and applesauce. Stir until everything is well combined and creamy.
- Sprinkle in the flour and baking powder. Gently mix until just combined.
- Add water or bone broth a little at a time to loosen the batter. You want it thick but spreadable.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting or serving.
