Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup lean ground beef cooked and drained
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce or plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric optional
  • 1/4 cup water

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
  2. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no pink remains, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain off all excess fat and let the beef cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, applesauce or yogurt, and water until smooth.
  4. Add the oat flour, shredded carrots, parsley, and turmeric to the bowl and stir until a thick, scoopable batter forms.
  5. Fold the cooked ground beef into the batter, mixing just until it is evenly distributed.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the muffins are set, lightly golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving to your dog.

Notes

- Let muffins cool completely before offering them to your dog to prevent mouth burns.
- Store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Always introduce new treats gradually and adjust your dog’s regular meals to account for extra calories.
- Do not add salt, sugar, onions, garlic, or any seasoning blends that may contain these ingredients.
