Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin (unsweetened and plain)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter (unsalted, unsweetened)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, canned pumpkin, egg, and peanut butter. Stir thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, well-blended batter with no lumps.
  2. Bake the Cupcakes: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spoon the batter evenly into a cupcake pan lined with paper liners or greased lightly to prevent sticking. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Cool and Serve: Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully before serving to your dog.

Notes

  • Ensure peanut butter does not contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
  • Use plain canned pumpkin rather than pumpkin pie filling to avoid added sugars and spices.
  • Store cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • These cupcakes are treats and should be given in moderation alongside a balanced diet.
  • You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor, but introduce spices cautiously if your dog is sensitive.
