Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 6-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Add the rolled oats to a blender or food processor and blend until they form a fine oat flour, then transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until mostly smooth.
- Whisk the egg into the mashed banana until well combined.
- Add the unsweetened applesauce and peanut butter to the bowl and whisk or stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the oat flour to the wet mixture and stir with a spatula or spoon until no dry flour remains and a thick batter forms.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly without crushing them too much.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cake is set in the center and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once fully cooled, optionally top with a thin layer of dog-safe yogurt and extra blueberries, then slice and serve to your dog in appropriate portions.
Notes
- Always use natural peanut butter that is free from xylitol and added sugar.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before serving to your dog to avoid burning their mouth.
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For longer storage, slice and freeze individual portions in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
