how many cupcakes does this recipe make?
Teresa says
Wow, these turned out great! My kids always want to celebrate her birthday and give her special treats anytime, so these would be perfect.
Pet Coupon Savings says
That’s great, Teresa. Let me know if she enjoys them. :)
Allyson Bossie says
I bet puppy loves them. My dog is allergic to wheat and grains, so nothing but meat products for him :/ Great recipe though!
Pet Coupon Savings says
Thanks for your comment Allyson. Can he have oats? We have a treat recipe coming up soon that is a “meat” treat, but it has oats in it I believe. You could omit that though for your dog. :)
Brandy says
I tried to make these, and they came out lumpy. :( I’m trying to figure out what I did wrong. The doggies loved them still, though.
Pet Coupon Savings says
That’s odd. I’m sorry they turned out lumpy. Glad your doggies still enjoyed them though. :) Thanks for stopping by!

I made it for my dog birthday today and he went crazy. He loved them and so easy to make!
Pet Coupon Savings says
That’s great to hear, Alysia! Thanks for sharing. :) Happy bday to your pup!

I’ve made these several times. My dogs love them. I’ve always omitted the honey (because I never have it) this last time I used shredded zucchini instead of carrots. I’ve also used canned pumpkin. Great recipe. I don’t ever buy store bought treats anymore
Anjeanette (AJ) says
Could I use applesauce instead of the shredded carrots? I just had surgery and I have everything to make them except carrots and I can’t zip to the store to get any. Lol
Pet Coupon Savings says
Hello AJ! You could use applesauce. I’m sure it would turn out just as good. :) Let us know if you try it and how it turns out. Feel better soon!
Liam says
About how many does this make?
Pamela Collin says
Instead of making these into cupcakes I used my mini fill came pans. I used my hand mixer to mix and they were perfect. We are celebrating Onyx’s 5th Birthday today.
Pet Coupon Savings says
Great idea, Pamela. I’m so glad they turned out well! Happy birthday to Onyx! :)
Cindy Williams says
These were perfect for my dog’s bday party. Thanks for the easy recipe!
Alyce says
So healthy for my pup! I made them in mini cupcake trays because my dog is a peanut. I cut down the cook time to 12 minutes and they came out great. One for me with some butter and one for pup! Thanks.
