Equipment

Ingredients
  

Pupcakes:

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1 lrg egg
  • ½ cup greek yogurt, plain
  • ½ cup applesauce, unsweetened
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 cup carrots, freshly shredded

Frosting:

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter, all natural
  • ½ cup greek yogurt, plain
  • 1 banana, ripe mashed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a regular muffin pan with cupcake liners or oil the muffin pan to prevent sticking. 

For the Pupcakes:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the egg, coconut oil, applesauce and yogurt. Beat together using a hand-held mixer or whisk.
  • In a large mixing bowl, using a whisk, blend together the flour and baking soda.
  • Add the wet ingredients (applesauce, egg, yogurt, coconut oil) to the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda) and mix together using a hand-held mixer or large spoon. Mix until just batter forms - it will be thick.
  • Add the shredded carrots and fold in.
  • Spoon the pupcake batter into the muffin cups, about 3/4 the way full.
  • Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. If not, bake another 3-5 minutes. 
  • Remove pupcakes from the pan and cool at room temperature on a wire rack while you make the frosting. If you used cupcake liners, remove them while cupcakes are still slightly warm to prevent sticking. 

For the Frosting:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the banana and mash with a fork. Add the peanut butter and yogurt to the bowl. using a hand-held mixer or whisk, beat ingredients together until creamy. 
  • Frost the pupcakes with a pastry spatula, spoon or butter knife.
  • Serve this delicious treat to your furry friend as a birthday treat, special occasion or any occasion!
    Enjoy!
