Method
Step 1:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small cake pan or line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking.
Step 2:
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of oat flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Stir well to evenly distribute the baking soda.
Step 3:
- In another bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 cup natural peanut butter (make sure it’s xylitol-free), 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil until smooth.
Step 4:
- Fold 1/2 cup grated carrots into the wet mixture. Then gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet bowl, stirring until just combined. The batter will be thick.
Step 5:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan or evenly distribute among muffin cups. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6:
- While the cake cools, mix 1/4 cup peanut butter with 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt until smooth. Once the cake is fully cooled, spread the frosting on top. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later use.
Notes
Always double-check that all ingredients, especially peanut butter, are free from xylitol or other harmful additives. Introduce new treats gradually to monitor your dog’s reaction, and consult your veterinarian if your pet has any allergies or dietary restrictions. This spoiled dog cake recipe is intended as an occasional treat and should not replace a balanced diet.
