I did these nutrient packed ‘pupcakes’ for Ivy’s 1st Birthday…

& Zoe’s 12th Birthday as it’s only a few days between.

My girls are wheat-free pups…so these are only a treat for them on special occasions. Of course, you can use GF Flour is you like.

Eggs are a great source of calcium, iron, manganese, zinc, D & B vitamins…plus they’re a first-class protein! Oats are amazing for nervous system, bones & connective tissue & gut/prebiotic support, whilst being high in iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, vit B5 & 9. My girls get the eggshells cracked up into their dinner too….full of calcium, boron, manganese, zinc etc…great for older dogs who can’t eat bones anymore.

Ingredients:

1/2C natural peanut butter

1 mashed banana

2 eggs

3/4C self raising flour

1/4C rolled oats

1/2C water

Method:

• Prehat oven to 180^oC
• Into large bowl combine peanut butter, banana & eggs. Beat together with electric beater.
• add flour, oats & water. Stir to combine.
• Spoon mixture across the muffin tray. I used large muffin sized tray, so this made x6, so normal cupcake tray should make x12 muffins.
• Bake for 8mins, or until a toothpick comes out clean from cupcake.
• let cool for 5mins till moving to cooling rack.
• To make yummy ‘icing’ – whip up cream cheese until soft. Pipe or spread over pupcakes…I topped mine with carob chocs which the girls love as treats.

I’m sure your pups will love them!!
