I got the original recipe for these doggie birthday cakes from Allrecipes and modified it a bit for Oscar's particular dietary goals. Here is my version:

Ingredients

1 cup cooked sweet potato

2 egg whites

1/4 cup peanut butter (unsweetened and unsalted)

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 cups ground oats

Directions

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.

2) Prepare your oats. I buy old-fashioned rolled oats and grind them in a food processor until they are about halfway between quick-cooking oats and flour (less than 30 seconds). This is what I do every time a baking recipe calls for oats so they aren't too chewy or dry. Set aside.

2) Mash the cooked sweet potatoes, either with a potato masher or an electric mixer (I did all of this manually). Then add the remaining wet ingredients (egg white through vanilla) and combine thoroughly.

3) Add baking soda and mix thoroughly. 

4) Add ground oats and combine thoroughly. Batter should be a clumpy texture, neither dry nor pourable.

5) Spoon the batter into your cupcake liners until filled to the top. My batch made seven.

5) Bake in preheated oven 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick poked into the center of one comes out clean.

6) Allow to cool for 10 minutes in tin and then remove to finish cooling on a rack (or plate or countertop).

While not wild with flavor (lack of salt will do that), I personally liked the finished product, as did Sameer. Sameer and/or I will finish off the batch for breakfasts this week.

To get us through the weekend. I think the only things I need to buy are a green bell pepper and a head of green cabbage.
