Notes

  1. Watch the Texture: When microwaving the mug cake, keep an eye on its texture. Overcooking can make it dry and tough, while undercooking may result in a gooey consistency. Adjust the microwave time according to your microwave's power to achieve a moist and fluffy pupcake.
  2. Mind the Ingredients: Ensure the peanut butter used is dog-friendly, without any added sugar or xylitol, which can be harmful to dogs. Also, opt for whole wheat flour instead of refined flour for a healthier treat. Additionally, if your dog has any food allergies, consider suitable substitutions for ingredients like wheat flour.
  3. Customize with Caution: While adding dry dog food as a topping can add a fun crunch for your pup, be mindful of the size and hardness of the kibble. Choose smaller pieces that won't pose a choking hazard, and avoid hard treats that could potentially damage your dog's teeth. Always supervise your dog while enjoying this treat to ensure they're eating safely.
