Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree plain, unsweetened
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter no xylitol
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt unsweetened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup water if needed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Measuring cups
  • 1 Measuring spoons
  • 1 Baking pan (8-inch round or cake molds)
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 Cooling rack
  • 1 Whisk or electric mixer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and baking powder. Mix well and set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, plain yogurt, and egg until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water until the batter is smooth.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. These treats are meant for occasional enjoyment, so serve them in moderation. Always introduce new treats gradually, and consult your veterinarian if your dog has any health conditions or dietary restrictions.
Variations:
- Replace pumpkin puree with mashed sweet potato for a different flavor.
- Add 1/4 cup of mashed banana for natural sweetness.
- Decorate the cake with additional yogurt or dog-friendly frosting.
