  • 0.125 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 0.125 cup peanut butter unsweetened and xylitol-free

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, ground oatmeal, and baking soda.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, peanut butter, water, and egg until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting. In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt and peanut butter until smooth.
  • Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with the peanut butter yogurt mixture. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Always ensure that the peanut butter you use is free from xylitol, which is toxic to dogs. These cupcakes are best served within 2-3 days.
