Ingredients:
Yield: 6 (Half Dozen)
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup homemade peanut butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/3 cup raw honey
- 1 Egg
- your pups favorite treat for garnish (We use Milo’s Kitchen Chicken Jerky)
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 350 Degrees.
Add all of your ingredients to your KitchenAid Mixer or to a large bowl and mix until well combined.
Step 2:
Grease up 6 cupcake pan holes with cooking spray because we will not be using cupcake liners.
Scoop out the batter and fill the pan ⅔ full. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked all the way through. Allow to cool fully before handling.
Step 3:
While the pupcakes are cooking, make your frosting.
Mix together ½ cup plain greek yogurt, ½ cup homemade peanut butter, and 2 tsp raw honey.
Step 4:
Add your frosting mixture to a prepared piping bag. I used my disposable piping bags from Wilton and my 1M tip.
Step 5:
Once your pupcakes are cooled off, you can add your frosting to the top. Start at the outer edge of the pupcake and work your way to the center.
Add a sprinkle of shredded carrots and your pups favorite treat to the top to finish it off. Our favorite puppy treats are Chicken Jerky by Milo’s Kitchen.
do you think I could sub zucchini for the carrots and get the same result?
Yes, I would think so!
