It’s Spoil Your Dog Day and we’re celebrating with this Pupcake! Do you want to know a secret? Its really just a banana bread cake decorated with dog treats..but they don’t know that! This recipe is super duper easy to make and you probably already have the ingredients in your pantry.
All of the ingredients are natural but let’s talk dog-safe ingredients. We want to make sure your puppy pawty doesn’t take a wrong turn.
1 - Apple Sauce. A lot of apple sauce on the market today contains hidden ingredients like added sugar and food dyes. Make sure you are getting pure apple sauce only to ensure no gastrointestinal issues arise!
2 - Peanut Butter. This one you probably know by now, but we never mess around with the health of our besties. Many brands use xylitol to sweeten their PB, but this ingredient is highly toxic to dogs. Generally speaking, you always want to get unsweetened peanut butter for your canine collaborators.
3 - Greek Yogurt. Yogurt is another item that often contains added sugars and artificial colorants. Make sure to get plain yogurt and, even better, opt for the whole milk variety.
Now that you’ve checked that your ingredients are both tasty and safe, you’re just a few simple steps and 25 minutes to bake time away from becoming even closer to your furry friends!
