Pup-Cakes

These are nice cupcake treats for dogs that I made up for my dog Presley’s 4th birthday. They are perfect for dogs with food allergies. Warning: they don’t look pretty, but Fido will love them! These freeze well, and you can zap them in the microwave for a nice, occasional dog snack.
Ingredients
  • 1 apple – peeled, cored and shredded
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  • Mix together apple, cheese, applesauce, eggs and olive oil in a bowl. Combine whole wheat flour, oats, and baking powder in a separate bowl; stir by hand into the wet ingredients until well blended. Spoon into the prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the tops of the muffins spring back when lightly pressed. Cool completely before serving.
