Apple carrot muffins
These muffins, made with fiber-rich apples and carrots, are a nutritious option for both people and dogs. They have a subtle sweetness and can be personalized with honey or brown sugar to suit personal preferences.
Ingredients
Directions
- Peel and grate the apple and carrot
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with oil.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
- In another bowl, combine the grated apple, grated carrot, eggs, applesauce, and oil.
- Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Cooking tips for pets and humans:
Avoid harmful ingredients: Avoid avocado and anything containing caffeine or alcohol as these can be harmful to your dogs. Onions, garlic, chocolate, grapes and raisins as well as certain nuts can be deadly.
Seasoning: Keep dishes bland for pets. Dogs can be very sensitive to salt and spices, which can cause gastrointestinal upset. It’s best to remove a portion for your dog before adding any seasonings for your own servings.
Consult your vet: New foods should always be checked with a veterinary doctor before being fed to dogs. This is important because it ensures safety and proper measurements, especially considering that different animals have varying nutritional needs based on health condition, age and size.
