Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 4–6 inch round cake pan or muffin tin.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together oat flour and baking powder. Add in applesauce, pumpkin, peanut butter, and egg. Mix until a thick batter forms.
Pour batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
Make the frosting: In a small bowl, stir together yogurt and peanut butter until smooth.
Frost the cooled cake and decorate with dog treats, shredded carrots, or a little bacon crumble if desired.
Serve in slices and store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

Always check with your vet before introducing new ingredients.
Make it a layered cake by slicing in half and spreading frosting in between!
You can use silicone molds to create fun shapes like bones or paw prints.
