Spinach Muffin Dog Treats

Don’t forget to eat your spinach! This new recipe for Spinach Muffin Dog Treats will help your dog fall in love with this leafy green…

My focus this year was to incorporate more greens into my diet. I have been doing pretty well so far, which says a lot because I R E A L L Y love potatoes and pasta. Of course, I wanted to create a treat recipe for the dogs that also incorporated greens. I never expected that these Spinach Muffin Dog Treats would be such a hit with the dogs!

If you checked out my “Choosing the Right Treats” entry, then you know I am also putting a focus on finding better treat options for my pups. With National Muffin Day on February 21st of this year, and a desire to convince my dogs to eat spinach, I knew this would be the perfect time to give this recipe a try.

I incorporated whole blueberries into this recipe but after seeing how crazy my dogs went over these Spinach Muffin Dog Treats – I almost think I could have skipped the blueberries. I couldn’t even get a clear photo of them enjoying these treats (hence all of the somewhat blurry pictures in the blog entry.)

The dogs were howling over these Spinach Muffin Dog Treats!

Zeke, who is my most difficult dog to impress with healthy treats, started howling anytime I would open the container that I was storing these treats in. It’s safe to say these treats were a hit.

Spinach Muffin Dog Treat Ingredients

• You will need a mini muffin pan. I found my mini silicone muffin pan on Amazon.

• 1 Cup of fresh Blueberries
• ¾ Cup of Unsweetened Applesauce

Spinach Muffin Dog Treats Health Benefits

• Spinach: Spinach is very nutrient dense. It’s important to check with your Vet before incorporating Spinach into your dogs diet (especially dogs with kidney issues) but my dogs have always done well with Spinach. Spinach contains Vitamins A, B, C and K. It is also a great source for iron and antioxidants.
• Blueberries: These are also rich in Vitamins C and K, they are low calorie, and contain antioxidants.
• Oats: A perfect wheat substitute for dogs with sensitivities! Oats are also a great source of fiber and Vitamins B5 and B9.
• Unsweetened Applesauce: A great source of fiber, calcium, Vitamin C, and is low in calories.
• Almond Flour: This ingredient is high in proteins, contains fiber, and Vitamin E.
