Dog Birthday Cupcakes for Knox’s first bday

I made some doggie cupcakes for Knox’s birthday this past Friday on August 1st. I didn’t want to make too many and I wanted to make sure that they were healthy for an animal. So I did a little research and came up with the recipe below. We also took Knox to PetSmart and let him choose a toy to play with. We always get Kong brand because it is tough and Knox loves to rip shit apart.
Recipe:
1/2 cup oatmeal
1 cup flour
1/4 applesauce
1/4 cup honey
1/4 peanut butter
1 tsp baking soda
1 egg

Topping:
Peanut butter
Bone pieces from dog food

Mix ingredients. Set oven to 350 degrees. Spray cupcake pan with nonstick spray. Pour into cupcake pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Let cool. Spread peanut butter on top.

Also here some of my favorite photos from this past year of Knox. I love this doggie so much and I know that it might be so cheesy to celebrate dog birthdays but he is our little boy and we really like him. Anyways enjoy.
love, Carlee

  3. I stumbled upon your blog from bloglovin' and absolutely loving it!
    I'll definitely have to try one of the Kong Braids because I'm lucky if my dog lasts a week with those braids. :) Saved this recipe for my doggy's upcoming birthday!

  9. What! These look so cute and easy! I made a cake for my pup once, but it was from a doggy cake mix box because I ran out of time to come up with a homemade recipe. Definitely keeping this for future use! Also, Knox is so adorable. He has gotten so big!

  10. I may have missed it, but how many does this make? I have 3 doggies and wouldn't want to not have enough. It shows 2 pictured, so if it only makes two, I will double the recipe.

  11. Hi, I am a first timer and like to find out what size these cupcakes are and what kind of tray to use. Try buying a tray realizing that there are so many different sizes and amounts per tray.

  16. Hi there!!!
    These are sooooooo cute!
    My dog loves it when I put chocolate chips ( designed specifically for dogs, don't worry ) in the cupcakes and drizzle some on the top!
    Thanks so much for the cute recipe!
    Btw I love your dog!
