Mutt Muffins

My dogs love treats but only get one biscuit a day. Every once in a while I like to try something new and give them an extra little treat, but I like to make sure it’s still somewhat healthy. These muffins seem to fit the bill, and as toy breeds my dogs only need half a muffin each, at most, so they don’t disappear too fast!

Mutt Muffins

1 small jar of baby applesauce/or equivalent in regular applesauce (not flavored)
2 carrots, shredded
2 Tbsp honey
2 ¾ cup water
¼ tsp vanilla
1 egg

In a bowl, mix all wet ingredients together and add the applesauce. Mix thoroughly.

4 cups whole wheat flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp nutmeg/pumpkin pie spice

Combine dry ingredients.

Add wet ingredients to dry and mix thoroughly, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl to be sure none of the dry mixture is left. Grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray. (Paper liners stick to the muffins so just use a greased muffin tin) Using an ice cream scoop, fill each cup ¾ full.

Bake at 350° for approximately 1 hour. Makes about 2 dozen mutt muffins. Enjoy!
