Here’s a great recipe for your furkids! My dogs Max and Ginger go absolutely nuts for these homemade dog pupcakes (aka cupcakes). What I really like about making my own homemade dog treats is that you know exactly what’s going into them versus those Chinese-made treats with unknown ingredients and chemicals. Homemade dog treats give us peace of mind!
Originally I was going to make them some cookies but I remembered that my dogs go nuts when they see me eating cupcakes so I figured why not, let’s make them some pupcakes!
The frosting is optional as well as the small milk bone I added to each pupcake. I just figured that if I am going to spoil my kids, I might as well really spoil them!
Recipe Variation
As you see in the pictures, I used a mini muffin pan to make these doggie treats. My dogs are very small so a mini cupcake is perfect for them. If you have a larger dog then a regular size muffin pan will be fine.
If you think these cupcakes are a little too much work, my dogs absolutely love these Milk-Bone Soft & Chewy Dog Treats. I’m sure your furkids would agree!

These cupcakes are ideal for your fur babies. I have a small dog so only gave her a little at a time. She loved them. This is a recipe I will keep.
Excellent.
