Q: What is better than cupcakes?
A: Pupcakes – aka cupcakes for dogs!
Two very special four-legged friends have a birthday tomorrow and this crazy fur mama wanted to make it a special one for them.
If it weren’t for the tiny Milk Bone on the top, I think that a certain human (Jared) would have devoured them the same way that Sabre & Dulce did. Actually, I am pretty sure that Dulce inhaled her pupcake in one bite!
I must say that I have taken a liking to homemade dog treats and encourage you all to try the same for your furry friends – You may have most of these ingredients in your kitchen already!
And most importantly, these Pumpkin Peanut Butter Pupcakes are Sabre & Dulce approved!
Now let’s get to the recipe for I start crying at the fact that my babies are turning 6-years-old already.
