Zucchini "Mutt-fins"

Your dogs will enjoy this treat as much as you do and will leave them begging for more!

All ingredients can be found at your grocery store. If you can't find oat flour, check the cereal aisle, where you will also find oat bran.

Use organic ingredients whenever possible.

2 cups oat flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup honey
2 cups pureed zucchini (or zucchini/yellow squash, equal to two large vegetables)
1/4 cup safflower oil
1/4 cup raw or roasted shelled sunflower seeds
4.3 oz. bag of Hormel Real Crumbled Bacon (optional)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Slice and puree zucchini in a food processor.

Combine all ingredients together and mix thoroughly. Spoon into muffin pan with cupcake papers placed in it. Spoon mixture evenly into the pan close to the top. (The mix will not rise very much.)

Bake 30-35 minutes. "Mutt-fins" are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Makes 15-16 treats.
