Pumpkin Pupcakes

'Pumpkin Pupcakes' becomes a bit of a tongue-twister when you say it a few times.

These cupcakes for dogs are healthy dog treats which are packed with goodness as they contain pumpkin, rolled oats and craisins.

I have tried these dog treat recipes on my pet and also given them to friends' pets and they all seem to love them. I can't vouch for these

Ingredients

Method

Preheat oven to 400F (200C).

Combine flour, oats, sugar, milk powder, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Set aside 2 tbspn for topping.

Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the pumpkin, water, oil and egg. Stir to combine.

Spoon into cupcake tins, lined with cupcake papers.

Sprinkle the tops with reserved dry ingredients.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a pumpkin pupcake come out clean.
