- ½ cup oat flour (or blend rolled oats in your blender until powdery)
Full ingredient list with measurements is provided in the printable recipe card below.
How to Make the Recipe
Let’s get baking! Follow these simple steps to create your pup’s new favorite treat:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (cause who wants raw cake?).
- Mix together pumpkin puree and eggs in a medium bowl.
- Stir in oat flour until you get a thick, smooth batter.
- Scoop the batter into a greased mini muffin tin—fill each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes. The tops should spring back when gently pressed.
- Cool before serving (your dog’s patience will get extra points here).
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some tips to ensure your pup cakes turn out perfectly:
- Make sure to use plain pumpkin puree, as the spiced pie filling can upset your dog’s tummy.
- If you don’t have oat flour, simply blend rolled oats in your blender until they reach a powdery consistency.
- Feel free to add a little peanut butter or mashed banana to the batter for extra flavor!
- For a fun twist, top the cooled pup cakes with a dollop of plain yogurt or a sprinkle of dog-friendly treats.
How to Serve
These pup cakes are perfect for any occasion! Here are some serving suggestions:
- Serve them as a special birthday cake for my dog—just add a candle for a fun photo op!
- Cut them into smaller pieces for a delightful snack during playtime.
- Pair them with a fun doggie party and invite your furry friends over for a treat fest!
Make Ahead and Storage
Want to prepare these pup cakes in advance? Here’s how:
- Store the baked pup cakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- You can also freeze them! Just place them in a freezer-safe bag, and they’ll last for up to three months.
- When you’re ready to serve, simply thaw them in the fridge overnight or warm them slightly in the microwave.
