3. In a separate bowl beat the eggs then add milk.

8. For the icing whip the cream cheese and honey together until fluffy.

This recipe gave us 6 muffins, but this will depend on your muffin cases. We recommend cutting the bake to a suitable size for your dog. If you don’t fancy decorating them you can always serve the muffins straight after baking, once they've cooled down of course! Consume within 2 days.

If you suspect your dog has any allergies to the ingredients used try using a substitute or avoid this recipe. Feel free to use any flour of your choice, like rice flour or whole wheat, depending on your dog’s dietary requirements.

Any new food should be added gradually to your dog's diet so they don't get a poorly tummy. And make sure to always adjust your dog’s daily food allowance so they don’t gain weight while enjoying their delicious new snacks. Avoid giving your dog any foods that they are allergic or intolerant to, or if advised against by your vet.
