Dog cupcakes might sound fancy, but they can actually be everyday treats. Using natural ingredients, these homemade cupcakes are perfect for dogs, especially those with sensitive stomachs. Ready to bake some doggy delights? Here are seven recipes that your furry friend will love.
First up, Savory Birthday Cupcakes. These savory bites are perfect for meat-loving pups. Made with apples, carrots, and oats, they’re nutritious and delicious. Start by lining muffin tins with bacon strips, then mix lean ground meat, shredded carrots, apple, oats, and an egg. Scoop the mixture into the tins, bake, and top with a tasty frosting of cream cheese and yogurt. A sprinkle of dog treats makes them even more special.
Pumpkin Pupcakes are a fall favorite, but your dog will devour them any time of year. Just make sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Mix pumpkin, molasses, honey, and an egg, then stir in baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and flour. Pour the batter into muffin tins and bake. The frosting? Whip up some heavy cream and peanut butter for a treat that’s sure to please.
Blueberry Dog Cupcakes are a healthy and fruity option. Combine ground dry dog kibble, whole wheat flour, and baking powder, then add honey, eggs, milk, and blueberries. Pour into muffin tins and bake. Once cooled, a smear of light cream cheese and a few extra blueberries on top will make these cupcakes irresistible.
Next, Bacon Cheddar Pupcakes for those dogs that can’t resist savory flavors. Fry up some bacon, crumble it, and save the grease. Mix eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, bacon pieces, and shredded cheddar. Bake in mini muffin tins and top with a layer of cream cheese once cool. These rich treats are best served in bite-sized portions.
Peanut Butter Pupcakes combine the classic flavors of peanut butter and banana. Mash ripe bananas and mix with peanut butter, honey, and eggs. Add flour, baking powder, oil, and water to form the batter. Bake in muffin tins and cool. The frosting is a creamy blend of boiled potatoes, yogurt, and honey. Top with this unique frosting and watch the tails wag.
Banana Pumpkin Pupcakes With Frosting are easy to whip up. Mash ripe bananas with pumpkin puree, egg, and melted coconut oil. Stir in flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and baking powder. Divide the batter into mini muffin tins and bake. Mix Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, and a bit of maple syrup for the frosting. Once cooled, frost and serve.
Finally, there are No-Bake Pupcakes. Mix oats, applesauce, peanut butter, and an egg. Scoop the batter into microwave-safe molds and microwave. Cool and frost with dairy-free yogurt mixed with softened cream cheese. Top each with a fresh blueberry. These quick treats are perfect when you’re short on time.
With these recipes, making dog cupcakes is a breeze. They’re not only tasty but also packed with nutritional benefits. Just remember to serve them in moderation, as your dog will find them hard to resist.
