These carrot pupcakes are a healthy dog treat than can be enjoyed plain or with a dog friendly icing. A great dog treat for their birthday too!

Carrot cupcakes for dogs do not have any sugar or baking powder but are full of dog friendly ingredients. The texture of the pupcakes are heavier and denser than a human cupcake but the dogs loved them.

How to make carrot pupcakes

Easy cupcakes for dogs or otherwise known as a "pupcake" are a one bowl recipe. One great thing about making a pupcake is having no pressure on the cakes rising to look perfect. As long at they are cooked through, that's all that matters!

In place of butter we used our homemade apple sauce. The dry ingredients we used are a mixture of rice flour and rolled oats. The rice flour can be substituted with another dog friendly flour.

Dog Yogurt Icing

The icing on the carrot pupcakes is made with plain Greek yogurt and cream cheese. It's an optional treat for the dogs and makes you feel like you are making a cupcake too!

Our topping was slathered on but you could make yours thicker and pipe it on for a prettier version.

Remember to go slowly when introducing new foods. And we recommend checking with your veterinarian first if your dog has any digestive issues or other health concerns.

Recipe Tips

If you are using cupcake liners, remove them before giving them to your dogs. To be honest, it's easier to make them without. We used them for the photos.

The applesauce could be replaced with pumpkin puree.

Storage

The pupcakes should be stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container. They will last up to 5 days.

These carrot pupcakes can be frozen too. Store them either in a ziplock bag or air tight container and they will freeze for up to 3 months. Freeze them BEFORE adding any frosting though.
