Notes
Tips
- Always weigh ingredients for the best results.
- Make sure to use a fine grater (not a large grate) when grating the carrots and apple. This ensures that these ingredients mix into the batter well and don't leave it gummy.
- You can use any variety of apple you like for this, whatever you buy for you is fine for your dog. Though, John John really prefers the sweeter varieties like Fuji, Gala, or Cosmic Crisp.
- While I'm using a mini muffin pan here, you can also use a regular size muffin pan. You will need to bake them longer though.
- Store in an airtight container to keep them soft and moist.
- You can also freeze these in an airtight container (like a tupperware or zip bag). Just thaw before giving to you pup!
- Gluten Free — Replace the all purpose flour with 127 grams (3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon) gluten free flour blend.
- High Altitude — Bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes r until the tops look set and dry, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
