Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup oat flour

- 1/4 cup grated apple (peeled and cored)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1/4 cup water or low-sodium chicken broth
- Frosting (optional):

- 1–2 tablespoons peanut butter (xylitol-free)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with silicone liners.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, applesauce, grated apple, and honey (if using).

- Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about three-quarters full.

Notes
- Store cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For longer storage, freeze cupcakes for up to 1 month and thaw in the fridge before serving.
- Always ensure peanut butter is xylitol-free, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
- Adjust the amount of frosting or skip it if your dog is sensitive to dairy.
