The holiday is coming around the corner. It’s the time to spoil your pups with pupcakes. Every now and then it’s safe for dogs to have but if you give them too much it would upset their stomach.
Altogether, the prep time and bake time would take 20 minutes.
What you’ll need:
Mini cupcake pan
Cut mini cupcake holders
1 egg
¼ tsp vanilla extract
2 cups water
2 cups whole wheat flour
¾ cup peanut butter (make sure it doesn’t contain Xylitol, which is toxic to dogs)
¼ cup pure pumpkin
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup plain greek yogurt
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350
- Fll the pan with cupcake holders. Spray each holder with a little bit of coconut oil or low fat cooking spray.
- Mix pure pumpkin, water, eggs, ¼ cup peanut butter and vanilla into a large bowl. Whisk until it becomes a frothy mixture
- Mix flour and baking soda in a separate bowl. Pour slowly into the liquid mixture. Stir until it becomes a creamy batter.
- Fill each cupcake holder with a cupcake batter. I used a tablespoon to easily fill each one since they are tiny.
- Put cupcakes in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, combine ½ cup peanut butter and greek yogurt in a bowl. Mix well and put in the fridge.
- Once the 10 minutes is up, take the cupcakes out to cool. Once they are completely cool, frost them with the peanut butter mixture from the fridge
- I chose to decorate the cupcakes with some sprinkles, but that’s optional! You can also crush dog treats and sprinkle that on top of the cupcakes.
- Let you dogs enjoy these delicious mini pupcakes for the holidays and refrigerate leftovers.
