]]> Call me a crazy dog lady if you must, but we threw Zoey a little first birthday party complete with decorations, party hats and pupcakes! If I’m going to be honest, she hated the hat, but she loved the pupcakes, so overall I would call it a success. I can’t believe that we have been dog owners for almost a year, and I can’t believe how quickly a little animal can turn into a real family member.

We knew we wanted to make Zoey a special birthday treat. I looked up some recipes online that seemed complicated and kind of gross (like potato frosting) so I ended up coming up with one on my own. This recipe come together super quick and is guaranteed to make your puppy happy! It is made with ingredients that are safe and yummy for your puppy, but as with all treats, observe them when you give it to them for the first time. This recipe is also safe for humans to eat, but honestly it doesn’t taste all that great to me.

Pupcakes

Dog Cupcakes

  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/8 cup coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/6 cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Frosting

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. In a large bowl, mix together wet ingredients.

  3. Mix in flour and baking soda.

  4. Stir in shredded carrots.

  5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  6. Cool completely before frosting.

Frosting

  1. Combine peanut butter and cream cheese in a large bowl.

  2. Cream together until fluffy.

  3. Frost pupcakes and top with a dog biscuit.

This recipe makes six regular sized cupcakes, so I recommend cutting them into smaller portions depending on the size of your dog before serving. You could also make the recipe into mini cupcakes or a full cake, just be sure to adjust your baking time accordingly.

If you make these pupcakes for your furry friends, be sure to share on Instagram and tag me! I love to see happy puppies!
