Homemade Dog Treat Recipe

Sweet Potato Apple Pup Cakes

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup flour (whole wheat, spelt, oat, barley, etc.)
• 3/4 cups rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/2 cup mashed sweet potato (baby food sweet potatoes works well)
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 apple, peeled and diced small
• Non-fat plain Greek yogurt for frosting
• Small treats for garnish (crumbled biscuits/cookies, fresh or dried fruit)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Mix dry ingredients together in one bowl.
• In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients together. Combine wet and dry ingredients until well-blended.
• Then, scoop the batter into paper lined muffin tins (6-8). Fill to the top as this dough is very dense and will not rise.
• Bake standard sized muffins for 25-30 minutes, mini muffins for approximately 15 minutes (or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean).
• Cool on a rack.
• Frost and serve, or freeze the muffins without the frosting.
• Refrigerate muffins that are not eaten.
