Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato (no seasoning)
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup water
- 1¾ cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Topping (Optional)
- ¼ cup rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing the cups to prevent sticking.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the mashed sweet potato, eggs, unsweetened applesauce, and water until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon (if using). Mix all ingredients together until you achieve a thick, uniform batter.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the mini muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Apply Topping: If desired, sprinkle rolled oats over the top of each muffin for added texture and visual appeal.
- Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool completely in the tin before removing and serving to your dog as a healthy treat.
Notes
- Store muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For longer storage, freeze muffins for up to 2 months. Thaw before serving.
- Always offer these muffins in moderation as treats, not as a substitute for regular meals.
- Consult your veterinarian if your dog has any food sensitivities or allergies before introducing new treats.
