Apple and Carrot Cake

Although there are many foods (including some fruits) that pets can not eat, there are others that are very beneficial for them. For example, apples are extremely good for their health.

And who can say no to apple pie? It is perfect for them, so go ahead and make one yourself, because all you need is the following ingredients:

1 egg
2 apples
2 carrots
1 cup of flour
1 cup of oat flakes
2 natural yogurts without sugar
4 tablespoons of olive oil
cinnamon and vanilla
yeast

— First, peel and grate the carrots and one of the apples (the other apple will be for decorating). Then go ahead and blend them together.

— Mix the blended carrots and apples with the egg and the yogurt. If you would like, you can put a little cinnamon or vanilla (or both) into the mixture. Once you have a homogeneous blend, add flour, the oatmeal flakes and a little bit of yeast to make it spongier.

— Put the mixture in an oven-safe dish and and bake it at 200°F (93.3°C) for 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the cake while it’s baking: when it turns golden brown and the knife comes out clean, it’s time for your dog to feast.

If you want to give it to your dog as a gift or a birthday cake, you can give it that special touch by decorating it with thinly sliced pieces of apple.
