Ingredients

1 large egg
1/2 cup creamy all-natural peanut butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract *See Notes
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup Almond flour or whole wheat, see notes for other options

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350° F.
In a medium bowl, combine the egg, peanut butter, oil, vanilla, and honey (optional).
Stir in the carrots, then gradually add the flour until well combined.
Pour into a small, lightly greased baking pan. I use a 5.75 x 3 inch mini loaf pan and it's perfect. a 6 cup ring mold also works.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until set. Turn onto a wire rack and let cool completely.

Notes

*The alcohol in the vanilla extract cooks out during the baking process but you may also substitute alcohol free vanilla extract as well.

Optional Frosting for Dog Cake

1/2 lb. of cooked/peeled potatoes whipped with 1/2 plain Greek yogurt make a great frosting for this cake.
1/4 cup peanut butter + 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt works too!

All-purpose or whole wheat flour may also be used.

Other Flour Alternatives for Dogs:

Grain: Barley, Buckwheat, Millet, Oat, Pea, Quinoa, Rice, Sorghum

Non-Grain: Chickpea, Coconut, Hazelnut, Lentil, Potato

Pan Sizes that work well:

5.75 x 3 inch mini loaf pan
6 cup bundt pan

Storage:

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Do not feed the entire cake to your dog at once. Give them small pieces of this cake at a time.

*When it doubt, always consult your vet regarding any diet changes.
