🎃 Chef Bailey’s Pumpkin Pupcakes: A Howl-o-ween Treat You’ll Drool Over! 👩‍🍳🐾

Halloween is one of our favorite times of year — costumes, cozy weather, and of course, treats! This season, our very own Bailey decided to take her chef costume to the next level. Once she had her hat and apron on, we figured… why not let her put those paws to work in the kitchen? What happened next was pure magic — a batch of Pumpkin Pupcakes that are as adorable (and delicious) as the chef herself. Take it away, Chef Bailey! 👇

🎃 Hi Friends! It’s Chef Bailey Here!

Since I was already dressed like a chef for Halloween, I thought — why not whip up something tasty too? So I trotted into the kitchen, wagged my tail, and got busy baking my favorite fall treat: Pumpkin Pupcakes!

They’re soft, a little fluffy, and made with all the good stuff we dogs love. No sugar, no tricks — just pure, tail-wagging treats!

🧁 The Secret Recipe (Shh… Don’t Tell the Cats!)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup pumpkin purée (no sugar, no spice, just nice!)

• ½ cup natural peanut butter (make sure it’s xylitol-free!)

• 2 eggs

• 1½ cups oat flour (or ground oats)

• 1 tsp baking powder

Optional Frosting:

• Plain Greek yogurt

• A sprinkle of cinnamon or a festive biscuit on top

🐾 Directions from My Doggone Delicious Kitchen:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F — and remember, humans handle the hot stuff!

2. Mix pumpkin, peanut butter, and eggs in a big bowl until smooth (and very sniff-worthy).

3. Stir in the oat flour and baking powder slowly, pretending you’re on your favorite cooking show.

4. Spoon the batter into mini muffin tins, filling each one about ¾ of the way.

5. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

6. Let them cool completely before adding the yogurt frosting — it’s worth the wait, promise!

Chef’s Note: These pupcakes stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days, or you can freeze them for later. (That’s what I call meal prep!)

🎃 Taste Test Time!

When they were finally ready, I couldn’t resist diving in nose-first — let’s just say, things got messy. Frosting on my snout, crumbs on my whiskers… but oh, it was worth every lick.

Luckily, Mom was ready with my favorite cleanup secret: BEST BARKIN' WIPES!
They’re gentle on my skin, safe enough for my face, and make me smell fresh again after my “culinary adventures.” Whether it’s peanut butter paws or a yogurt-covered chin, one quick wipe and I’m back to my polished, picture-perfect self — ready for the next photo op. 📸✨

👻 Final Thoughts from Chef Bailey:

This Halloween, treat your pup to something homemade, healthy, and full of fall flavor. And when the kitchen chaos is over, grab BEST BARKIN' WIPES to keep your canine chef clean, comfy, and ready for their close-up.

Now if you’ll excuse me… I hear there’s another batch cooling. A dog chef’s work is never done! 🧁🐾
