Ingredients
Cupcakes:
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
½ cup peanut butter
¼ cup coconut oil fully melted
1 cup milk
1 banana sliced
⅓ cup honey
2 cups shredded carrots
Small sized milk bones for garnishing
Frosting:
½ cup plain greek yogurt
¼ cup applesauce
⅓ - ½ cup peanut butter
¼ cup plain pumpkin puree
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour and baking soda. Mix well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl using an electric hand or stand mixer, mix together all other cake ingredients except for the milk bones. Blend until smooth.
Add the dry mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Pour cupcake batter into the muffin tins, filling the cups up nearly to the top.
Place inside the oven and cook for 22-24 minutes.
When done, allow the cupcakes to cool completely inside the muffin tin.
When the cupcakes are at room temperature, prepare the frosting. Add all frosting ingredients to a small mixing bowl and blend well using a fork. Mix until the frosting is thick, clump free, and falls off the fork very slowly.
Apple the frosting to the top of the cupcakes using a butter knife or frosting bag.
Garnish with a milkbone and serve to your favorite fur baby!
Notes
Notes
IMPORTANT NOTE: Check with your vet before adding any new food to your dog’s diet.
Storage:
To Store: Store any leftover cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
To Freeze: These cupcakes freeze well, though I recommend freezing them unfrosted.
Tips:
Each dog can react differently to any type of new treat that hits their belly. This is important to note when serving your pup something new for the first time. Serve your pup one treat within 24 hours to see how their belly responds before giving them multiple.
