Instructions
Cupcakes
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
Place applesauce, pumpkin, egg, and melted coconut oil in a large bowl. Stir until combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine oat flour and baking soda. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and stir to combine.
Add the blueberries and gently stir them into the batter. Divide the batter into the 12 muffin cups.
Bake for 20-23 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the cupcakes in the pan for a few minutes then remove them from the pan and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting
Place the softened cream cheese in a bowl and use a hand mixer to whip it until light and fluffy.
Spread the whipped cream cheese on the cooled pupcakes. Press blueberries into the frosting.
Store cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is softened and at room temperature so it will whip properly.Do not use pumpkin pie mix because it may contain spices toxic to dogs.You can use cupcake liners but remove them before giving the pupcakes to your dog.You can use low-fat cream cheese but it won’t whip as fluffy.
