Pupcakes The Perfect Dog Cupcake Recipes

Everyone loves cupcakes even dogs. So why not bake up a few of these wonderful treats tonight using ingredients that you have in your own pantry. Peamut Butter Pupcakes Ingredients: 2 ripe bananas 2 cups water 1 egg 3 cups whole wheat flour 1 Tbsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 2 Tbsp honey 1/2 cup peanut butter Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Spray cupcakes or mini cupcake pans depending on the size of your dog. Larger cupcake pans for larger dogs smaller pans for smaller dogs. In a large bowl, mash bananas with a fork. Add all ingredients but peanut butter and and mix with a wodden spoon until well combined. Add peanut butter and continue stirring until well blended. If using mini cupcake pan, spoon 2 Tbsp (or 1/8 cup) batter into each. If using regular cupcake pan, fill each well 1/4 of the way full. The batter will not rise or smooth out very much, so be sure to smooth it out and make it pretty. Bake mini pupcakes for 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Bake larger pupcakes for 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 3-5 minutes in pan before inverting onto cooling rack. Allow pupcakes to cool completely before feeding them to your dog. Store in the refrigerator covered. Perfect Puppy Frosting Ingredients: 8 ounces of Greek yogurt 1 cup confectioners sugar 1/2 cup peanut butter 1/4 dog food ( dry kibble) for decoration AKA sprinkles Directions: Mix together the Greek yogurt and the confectionery sugar with a hand blender. Slowly add the peanut butter and whip till light and fluffy. Greek yogurt has much less liquid then regular yogurt producing a stiffer frosting. This frosting needs to be refrigerated. If you dog is sensitive to dairy you can omit the yogurt all together and just use the peanut butter and confectionery sugar whipped together. Spoon dollops on to each cupcake and sprinkle with dry kibble. For that added touch you can put a rawhide on each cupcake to look like a candle or put a dog bone on each one for added decoration. Have fun with this recipe. It is so good you may even want to eat it yourself. Remember that dogs do not need a lot of sweets so feed your dog his pupcakes in moderation.
