Ingredients

Pupcakes

½ cup sweet potato , pureed
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 apple grated finely
1 egg beaten
¾ cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons rolled oats (not quick cooking oats)

Icing

2 oz. cream cheese
2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cupcake tin with nonstick parchment liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine the pureed sweet potato, apple, applesauce, honey and coconut oil in a large mixing bowl.
Pour in the beaten egg, stirring until incorporated, then add the whole wheat flour and uncooked oats.
Once the dough comes together, slowly dollop the batter into the prepared cupcake tin. (It will be SUPER thick.)
Bake for 15-30 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
While the pupcakes are cooling, combine the cream cheese and applesauce in a bowl, beating with a hand mixer and set aside until needed.
Once the cakes are cool, top with the icing if you so choose, and let your pup enjoy!

Notes
