Ingredients
Main Base: Pupcake Batter
1 apple, grated (no seeds/core)
1 carrot, grated
1 egg
¼ cup olive oil or coconut oil (both support coat & skin health)
½ tsp cinnamon (aids digestion – use Ceylon if available)
½ tsp baking soda (for fluffiness – safe in small amounts)
¾ cup whole wheat or oat flour (choose oat flour for gluten-sensitive pups)
Frosting (optional but adorable):
½ banana mashed
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (or omit for dairy-free version)
🧠 Healthy Tip:
🛑 Caution: Always avoid apple seeds and core (contain cyanide compounds).
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix all pupcake batter ingredients in a bowl until combined.
- Spoon into lined muffin tins or silicone molds (¾ full).
- Bake for 15–20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool completely before frosting.
- Frost with the banana-yogurt mix and top with a dog biscuit if desired.
🍴 Pro Tip: Let pupcakes cool fully so the frosting doesn’t melt off.
