Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 20 minutes mins
Total Time 25 minutes mins
Servings 1 (Varies by dog size)
- 3 Tablespoons dog-safe peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 1/2 apple, grated or finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- coconut oil spray
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mix together all ingredients until smooth.
Grease a jumbo muffin tin or ramekin with coconut oil spray. Because Tiny is a small breed, I separate this into 2 servings and just use a regular muffin pan.
Spoon in your batter.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until it turns golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for a few minutes, and then slide the cake out of the baking equipment.
Cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
Frost with a small amount of peanut butter (optional) and serve.
Optional
- I usually chop up the apple because Tiny likes the crunch, but if you want a smoother cake, I recommend grating the apple for a finer cake.
- If your pup can tolerate a small amount of dairy, you can subsitute your peanut butter frosting with plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt for a more traditional birthday cake frosting look.
- I also usually sprinkle a few of Tiny's small dog treats or chopped up cooked bacon bits on top for added crunchy flavor.
