Make Healthy Dog Treats

Dog treats found in stores can be filled with empty carbohydrates and chemicals. If you want a healthy treat for your dog, here is a simple recipe to make 36 Banana cupcakes.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups oatmeal
  • 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 2 bananas
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 teaspoons honey (optional)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 bowl of dry yeast

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 182 degrees Celsius.
  2. Grease 36 mini-muffin cups.
  3. Use a blender to grind oatmeal into a powder. Mix oatmeal, whole wheat flour and baking powder in a small bowl.
  4. Place bananas, vanilla and honey in blender, process, add water slowly.
  5. Pour liquid mixture gradually into bowl of dry yeast.
  6. Spoon batter into prepared pan, filling cups to the rim.
  7. Bake until done, approximately 20-25 minutes.
  8. Transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool.

Tips

  • If you use an aluminum pan, the muffins will bake faster than in a darker metal pan.
  • Use a cookie sheet and put teaspoons at a time on. You will have more and will be able to slip them through the bars of a crate.
  • If you are training with these pupcakes as treats, try breaking pieces off so your dog doesn't have too much at a time.
  • Refrigerate or freeze cupcakes so they'll last longer.
  • Check muffins after baking 15 minutes. The muffins are small. Depending on your oven, they may be done baking in 15-20 minutes.

Warnings

  • Allow pupcakes to cool before tossing one to your dog.
  • You can use regular flour, but whole wheat is recommended.
  • Pupcakes are treats! Don't over-indulge your four-legged friends. One or two pupcakes a day for a small dog or four for a large dog is plenty.
