Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup peanut butter unsweetened, ensure it doesn’t contain xylitol
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour for a wholesome base; can substitute with gluten-free flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce adds moisture and sweetness without sugar
  • 1/2 cup water or low-sodium chicken broth for added flavor
  • 1 large egg helps bind the ingredients together
  • 1 tsp baking powder adds a little rise for that fluffy texture

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 6-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, applesauce, and water until smooth and creamy.
  3. Crack in your egg and whisk everything together, blending until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and baking powder.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. The batter will be thick.
  6. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out.
  7. Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let it cool completely before removing it from the pan.

Notes

Decorate with dog-safe yogurt frosting or sprinkle with little treats for decoration. For smaller treats, bake in a muffin tin for delightful doggy cupcakes. Always check ingredient labels to ensure there are no harmful additives for dogs.
