Grain-Free Dog Cake

GLUTEN-FREE & PLANT-BASED

This 1-hour dog cake is great to enjoy when you need a homemade treat for your fur babies. This cake doesn’t use flour, sugar or oil, making it safe for dogs to eat. It uses common pantry ingredients and you can add any dog treats of your choice. 

If you don’t have oat flour, you can easily make it by blending your desired measurement in oats at high speed for about 30 seconds until you have a finely milled flour.
