Staff member Wendy loves to treat the pooches in her life with these tasty “pupcakes.”

Doggie Cupcakes

Ingredients

• ½ cup rye flour (or whole wheat flour or brown rice flour)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ⅓ cup canola oil
• ⅓ cup applesauce
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
• 1½ tablespoons peanut butter

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
   2. In a mixing bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, canola oil, applesauce, egg, and honey until well combined.
   3. Insert cupcake liners into a muffin or cupcake pan. Spoon mixture into cupcake liners, filling each about halfway.
   4. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
   5. Allow cupcakes to cool to room temperature.
   6. Meanwhile, in a bowl, stir yogurt and peanut butter until mixture is smooth and creamy. Use a small spatula or butter knife to smooth a thin layer of the peanut butter frosting over each cupcake.
   7. Storage: cupcakes should hold up for 4-5 days if stored in an airtight container in a cool, shaded, dry spot. Peanut butter frosting should be stored separately, covered and refrigerated. Frost cupcakes immediately before serving.

Enjoy!
