Pupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting

Celebrate your doggie's birthday or a adoption anniversary with these fun healthy pupcakes.
Word of caution: Please read the label before adding store bought peanut butter. Xylitol, a sugar substitute found in lower or sugar-free products, is harmful to dogs. Natural or homemade peanut butter is always best.
Servings: 6

Ingredients

For the Pupcake

  • 1/4 cup peanut butter without Xylitol
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup yogurt
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded carrots
  • 1 each egg
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour

For Frosting

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter without Xylitol
  • 1 cup cream cheese
  • toppings such as peanuts or bones

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. You can line the cupcake tin with liners, but I prefer using silicon cupcake trays so the dogs wont eat the paper
  • In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, applesauce and yogurt until well combined
  • Add one egg followed by shredded carrots. Mix well
  • Add the whole wheat flour and baking soda. Mix well
  • Using a spoon or a scoop, fill 6-7 cups equally.
  • Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes clean
  • While the pup cakes cool, prepare the frosting by mixing the cream cheese and peanut butter.
  • Pipe or spread the frosting on fully cooled pup cakes
  • Decorate with their favorite treat and watch their happy tails!
