Description

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 medium apple - peeled, cored and shredded
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup applesauce
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
2 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.
3 Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the tops of the muffins spring back when lightly pressed. Cool completely before serving.
