Even our four-legged friends can hop on the pumpkin everything train. This recipe for Pumpkin Carrot Pupcakes is easy and is every dog’s favorite dessert!
Wolf Gourmet sent me their countertop oven in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts are, as always, my own and 100% truthful. Enjoy!
This Pumpkin Carrot Pupcakes recipe is for all of my friends out there who treat their dogs like their children. This post was originally shared in September 2014 in celebration of our dog, Lucca’s first birthday. The recipe quickly became a site favorite, so I decided that the pictures needed a re-vamp, AND I wanted to share with you a cool new toy that I used to bake them in! Lucca is four years old now, and he still loves these healthy pupcakes as much as the first day I made them.
Since this recipe only makes 6 pupcakes, the Wolf Gourmet Countertop Oven is perfect for baking them! I almost need to meet every one of you for coffee to explain to you how much I love this appliance. No joke. It has six cooking modes (Proof, Warm, Roast, Bake, Broil, and Toast). I’ve used all of them at this point and they all work so perfectly! The proof setting is so great for making cinnamon rolls, pizza dough, bread — any kind of dough, really. I use the toast function almost every day and it makes the most fool-proof bagels ever. What I love the most is that I can easily pop a few cookies on a quarter sheet pan and watch them bake on my counter, or roast a few filets of salmon and I can keep an eye on them while I’m cooking everything else on the stove. The countertop oven comes equipped with a temperature probe, so you can insert it into your dish and monitor the internal temperature from the outside display without ever opening the door. I mean… it doesn’t get any better than that. I honestly don’t know what I did before this piece of equipment. If you do a lot of cooking for two or you just feel like you need the extra oven space, you HAVE to have this Wolf Gourmet Countertop Oven in your life.
