You already know that your dog can’t join in the great fun of eating lollipops, now-and-laters or any other human candy for that matter; so why not make him or her a nice Halloween dog treat this October? The recipe below makes 14 treats and it’s very simple to make. (Before you decide to give your pooch these treats, make sure he or she isn’t allergic to any of the ingredients and that it is okay for their diet).

You will need:

• 2 cups of water
• 3/4 cup of applesauce (from can)
• 1 egg
• 1/8 teaspoon of vanilla
• 1/4 cup of chopped nuts
• 1 cup of white flour
• 3 cups of whole wheat flour
• 1 tbsp of baking powder
• 1/4 cup of oats
• 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg

Your oven will need to be preheated to 350 degrees. With a bowl, mix together the water, applesauce, vanilla and egg; make sure to stir thoroughly. Next, get another bowl and thoroughly mix together the flour, nuts, nutmeg, baking powder and cinnamon. Combine the two bowls together and stir well. Then with a greased muffin pan, begin spooning in the contents of the bowl into each cup. Cook for about 1 1/4 hours, then let cool and serve.
