Dog Cupcakes Recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-count cupcake tin with paper liners. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk the applesauce, peanut butter, honey, eggs, and oil together until smooth.

Step 3

Add the water and mix again.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the flour and baking powder together.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until combined.

Step 6

Spoon into the cupcake tin and bake for 20-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean (or with a few crumbs but no batter).

Step 7

Cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 8

While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. Add the cream cheese and peanut butter to a bowl. Use an electric hand mixer to beat until smooth.

Step 9

Once the cupcakes are cool, use a wilton 1M tip, or simply cut the end of the piping bag (or ziplock), to pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes.

Step 10

Top each cupcake with a milk bone.
