K-9 Kupcakes

 

Ingredients:

Kupcakes:

1 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cooking oil
1 cup shredded carrots
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup honey
1 egg

Mix the dry and wet ingredients separately, and combine quickly (dunno why the directions said that).

It makes like a pastry batter, so you need to fill up the muffin tins with about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the batter.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.

Frosting:

1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup sour cream

Mix together and frost the kupcakes when they have cooled.

Soft Banana Strips

• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1/2 banana
• 1/2 cup flour (white or whole wheat)
• 1/8 cup rice

Squash bananas, and beat the egg. Mix all ingredients, then spread evenly on a plate. Next, heat in microwave for 3 1/2 minutes. When done, let cool, then cut and serve. The rice can be pre-cooked or uncooked for extra crunch!

Carob Crunchies

For crunchies:

• 2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup applesauce
• 1/2 cup HOT water
• 1 tbsp. honey
• 1 tsp. molasses

For icing:

• 1 cup carob chips

Mix all of the crunchies' ingredients together until well blended. Knead dough two minutes on a lightly floured surface. Roll to 1/4" thickness. Cut out and bake on an ungrased cookie sheet for 30 minutes in a 300 degree F oven. Cool.

For icing, melt carob chips in microwave or saucepan. Dip cooled crunchies in carob, or lay them on a flat surface and brush melted carob over the biscuits with a pastry brush. Let cool

Banana Pupcakes

• 2 cups water
• 2 bananas
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 3 cups flour (white or whole wheat)
• 1 tbsp. baking powder
• 1 egg
• 3 tbsp. honey

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mash bananas in a large bowl. Mix in all the rest of the ingredients until well blended, and then pour into cupcake pans. Bake 20 minutes.

These are great for birthdays! Some carob chips can be melted and used for "frosting."

Feel free to add other ingredients such as suflower seeds (without the shell), nuts, carob chips, shredded carrot, or diced apple. Crucnhy peanut butter can be used instead of smooth. Whole wheat flour is always better than white. Extra treats or double batches can be frozen for future use.

Banana Bites

• 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk
• 1/3 cup mashed ripe banana
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 1 beef bouillon cube, dissolved in 1/2 cup hot water
• 1 tbsp. brown sugar

Mix all ingredients until well blended. Knead for 2 minutes on a floured surface. Roll to 1/4" thickness. Use a 2 1/2" bone-shaped cookie cutter (or any one you prefer). Bake for 30 minutes in a 300-degree F oven on ungreased cookie sheets
