🧁 Air Fryer Pupcakes for Dogs!
In my world, dogs love nothing better than the days we make homemade dog treats. And I love nothing better than making sure they are eating sugar-free ingredients! These pupcakes for dogs are EVERYTHING you could ever ask for in a pupcake - they are sugar-free and dog-friendly!
And the frosting? Sweetened creamy peanut butter is the secret frosting ingredient!
A better alternative to excessive amounts of butter, cream cheese and icing sugar used in typical fluffy frostings that you buy at the grocery store.
🐾 Frosting for Dog Pupcakes
The secret ingredient in this not only creamy, but fluffy frosting your dogs will love on these cupcakes is peanut butter. A proven hit for my dogs, Ruby and Callie.
In stores and online, you can find all kinds of dog cake or cupcake recipes topped with not so healthy whipped cream and peanut butter. Not only that, but those frostings contain a lot of fat. While it looks great. It's not healthy for dogs.
Plus, there would only be a small amount of frosting on each cupcake.
So I use peanut butter instead that way it's nice and healthy for dogs. It's made with creamy peanut butter. It gets its authentic color from the peanut butter, and it's far better for dogs than anything you can buy online, so you can use plenty of it.
Your dog is going to LOVE it!
