Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined — a few small lumps are perfectly fine. Do not overmix, or your pupcakes will be tough!

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Primary Tool
OvenSafety & Storage
High Risk Population
Honey is present in this recipe. Never serve to puppies under 1 year old or immunocompromised dogs due to risk of infant botulism from clostridium spores.
Allergen Warning
CRITICAL: Many commercial peanut butters contain xylitol, which is highly toxic and potentially fatal to dogs. Only use peanut butter confirmed to be 100% xylitol-free with no sugar alcohols listed.
Cross Contamination
Thoroughly wash all mixing bowls, whisks, spatulas, and the muffin tin between uses if preparing other foods for humans with peanut, egg, or milk allergies.
Cooking Temperature
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 22-25 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and internal temperature reaches safe doneness.
Storage
Store cooled pupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze in a single layer then transfer to freezer bag for up to 3 months.
Handling
Avoid handling with bare hands if serving to someone with tree-nut or peanut allergies, as residual allergens can transfer through skin contact.
Pro Tips
Technique
Ruff ruff! When mixing your batter, remember that a few lumps are PERFECTLY fine — overmixing makes the crumb tough, and we want these babies soft as a cloud for those sensitive puppy tummies!
Substitution
Arf! No banana on hand? Apple sauce works beautifully as a swap, and the flavor stays sweet and moist — just a slight change to the spice notes! The treat stays tail-waggingly delicious either way!
From the chef
These Peanut Butter Pumpkin Pupcakes are soft, moist, and absolutely bursting with flavour in every little bite! Creamy natural peanut butter and cosy pumpkin puree come together with ripe mashed banana, a drizzle of honey, and a warm hit of cinnamon — all folded gently into a base of flour, rolled oats, and just enough leavening to give each pupcake a beautiful lift. The trick is not to overmix once the wet and dry come together, because that gentle fold is what keeps these cupcakes tender and irresistible. Bake until the tops are just set and you have twelve perfect little celebratory treats ready for the goodest boys and girls in the pack!
