Spinach Banana Cake With Hidden Healthy Ingredients

I made this spinach banana cake for my dog Milo’s birthday last month. The spinach hid in the banana, and he ate the first piece without noticing the greens.

Perfect as a homemade dog food recipe, this cake serves as an excellent dog cake recipe that your pet will love. It’s simple to prepare and can even be customized with additional dog-friendly flavors.

Healthy Spinach Banana Dog Cake Recipe

This dog-friendly cake combines ripe bananas and fresh spinach, providing essential vitamins and minerals. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and bake, resulting in a tasty cake that can serve as a treat or a special occasion delight for your dog.

Ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 cup peanut butter (dog-safe)
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup water

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a small cake pan (about 6 inches).
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, chopped spinach, applesauce, peanut butter, and egg. Mix until well incorporated.
3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the coconut flour and baking powder until just combined.
4. Adjust Consistency: If the batter is too thick, add water a little at a time until you reach a pourable consistency.
5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving to your dog.

I store the cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Milo gets a small slice as a treat, and the cake usually lasts us four days.
