Christina We made these Easy Healthy Vegan Pupcakes piled high with dog-friendly hummus frosting to celebrate Baby Dog’s 4th birthday! These Dog-Friendly Vegan Cupcakes are so easy to make, soft, and fluffy! Topped with our dogs’ favourite thing ever, dog-friendly fluffy hummus frosting, that is obviously butter-free, sugar-free, and loaded with healthy ingredients. Your dogs are going to love these vegan pupcakes!
In addition, how pretty are they? That dreamy pink colour is achieved by super healthy and yummy beetroot powder! Both our dogs go crazy about these cupcakes! They can’t stop eating them!
The recipe makes 6 cupcakes and will be ready in only 30 minutes! These cupcakes aren’t just PERFECT for your furry babies’ birthdays, but also Valentine’s Day (the pink is perfect!) or any time you feel like treating your babies. They deserve it so much, always giving us their unconditional love, don’t you think?
These Dog-Friendly Vegan Cupcakes are so soft, moist and fluffy and the secret for the frosting? Potatoes and chickpeas!

Equipment
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup unsweetened soy milk
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp beetroot powder
Dog-Friendly Hummus Frosting
- 250 g boiled chickpeas
- 2 medium potatoes, boiled until tender
- 1 tsp beetroot powder
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180ยบC/356ยบF.
- In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.
- In a small bowl, combine all the wet ingredients.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix through.
- Line a 6-cup cupcake pan with 6 cupcake liners. Fill them about two-thirds full with batter. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cupcake comes out dry with a few crumbs clinging to it.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before adding the frosting.
Dog-Friendly Hummus Frosting
- In a food processor, combine the boiled chickpeas, boiled potatoes, beetroot powder, tahini, and sea salt, and process until very smooth and creamy.
- Pour the contents of the food processor into a bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours or until the mixture is cold. The more you refrigerate it, the more consistent and thicker the frosting will become, and the more it will hold its shape when piped onto the cupcakes.
- Spoon the frosting into a piping bag with a star nozzle and pipe it using a spiralling motion onto the cupcakes in a large swirl.
- Now they are ready to be devoured by your dogs! They will love them!
- If you have small dogs like we do, cut the cupcakes into smaller pieces to make it easier for them to handle!
- Store in the refrigerator, in a sealed container, for up to 5 days.

I made these for my puppyโs 1st birthday. Beautiful moist healthy cakes. She loved them!
My 3 dogs are big fans of these pupcakes. Thank you for the recipe guys!
Forgot to rate!
So easy, cute and the doggos love them ๐
I made them for my dogs 15th birthday. Her and my younger dog loved them and were begging, barking, and jumping for more than one!
It was Cocoโs 3rd birthday today. I wanted something homemade so I knew that it was healthy. She was so patient as I took pictures but once I gave the word, the pupcakes didnโt stand a chance. She devoured them. I will definitely be making these again. The hummus frosting was her favorite part. It was the first to go. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.
My dogs love these- they demolished them!
My dogs devoured these. Great recipe, thank you!
I followed the recipe exactly. The Pupcakes turned out fantastic. My 4 dogs loved them!
Hello
Can I refrigerate with them frosted or do I have to only frost them right before serving? Was hoping I could make and frost to keep them handy .
Thank you
Hi Missy,
Yes, you can definitely refrigerate the pupcakes with the frosting on them. We refrigerate them for up to 3-5 days and they always stay moist and delicious. Just make sure to place them in a sealed container! Hope your dogs will love these pupcakes as much as ours do!
My dog loved these.
Ozzy loved these pupcakes for his birthday!
We’re so happy to hear that! ๐
