Are These Dog Cupcakes Healthy for Dogs?
Yes, these pupcakes are perfectly safe for your dog. Whenever you are making homemade dog treats, you need to be careful not to include any toxic ingredients (ie: chocolate) or things your dog may be allergic to. This post from PetMD gives a good outline if you want to be sure you are keeping your pup safe while baking.
Ingredients You Need
- Peanut Butter: a natural option like JIF or Skippy.
- Banana: any ripeness will due here; it doesn’t need to be brown like banana bread.
- Oil: vegetable.
- Honey: all natural.
- Flour: you can use a whole wheat flour for a healthier version.
- Baking Soda & Baking Powder: to bake the cupcakes.
- Cream Cheese: this goes with the peanut butter for the icing.
- Milk: just a little to thin the frosting.
- Small Milk Bones: optional
What Kind of Peanut Butter Can Dogs Eat?
When you are choosing a peanut butter for your dog you want to check and see if it has Xylitol. This is the ingredient you do not want in your dogs food. The American Kennel Association says PB is perfectly fine for dogs so long as it does not contain Xylitol.
How To Make Dog Cupcakes
To make the pupcakes, grab your ingredients, a muffin tin and set your oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix the banana, peanut butter, oil and honey.
- Stir in the flour, baking powder and baking soda.
- Pour the batter into the muffin tin and bake for 10-20 minutes.
- Make the frosting while the cupcakes cool.
- For frosting, stir all the ingredients together and frost on the cupcakes.
That’s it! You can add a bone on top if you want or leave it off.
You can decorate the cupcakes for birthdays. To pipe frosting, make sure to place in the fridge or freezer to get the right piping consistency.

Our Lab loved these!
My pup cannot tolerate milk. Can I substitute another form of “ milk”?
I am sure you could try any of the alternative milk products like almond, oat, etc.
