Carrot Pupcakes Recipe

April 7, 2017|Kristy Beck|

It is time for a new dog treat recipe for you to get into the kitchen to make for your pug. Why not make some delicious homemade carrot pupcakes. This carrot pupcakes recipe is super easy to make and perfect to make for Easter, Christmas, Birthdays or just any ol’ reason.

PUPCAKES INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup organic buckwheat flour
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon Manuka Honey
1/4 cup organic coconut oil
1/2 cup coconut milk or water
1/2 cup grated carrot
Mini cupcake pan

ICING INGREDIENTS

50g yoghurt drops
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Carob drops (optional)
Grated carrot (optional)

PUPCAKES DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 160ºC
In a bowl combine baking powder and honey and mix well
Add buckwheat flour, coconut oil, coconut milk / water and egg to bowl
Mix until well combined
Add grated carrot and mix through
Divide evenly into cupcake pan
Bake in oven for 15 – 20 minutes

ICING DIRECTIONS

Melt yoghurt drops & coconut oil over a low heat
Carefully drizzle melted yoghurt drops over pupcakes
Add your optional decoration to top of pupcake before yoghurt drop sets

This homemade carrot pupcakes batter will make 12-16 mini pupcakes. You can switch the buckwheat flour for 1/2 cup of wholemeal flour if you can’t source it from your local health food store. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for up to one month.

Give your pug a special treat of carrot pupcakes. Whilst these are healthy treats, they should only be fed occasionally and should never replace your pug’s dietary needs.

I would love to hear how you go making these and what your pugs think of these homemade carrot pupcakes. Leave a comment below or tag your photos on Instagram with #thepugdiary so I can see what they think.
