Thanksgiving Day calls for Hoku's customary homemade doggy pumpkin pie with a dollop of yogurt. Remember last year's pie when we celebrated Thanksgiving in our tiny apartment in San Diego? Wishing all our human and furry friends out there a delicious and happy Thanksgiving!
This year was Hoku’s first Thanksgiving with us so we wanted to make sure there was something special for him to munch on too. So while all of us humans were stuffing our faces making a lovely holiday meal in the kitchen, we carved out a little time in the day to bake Hoku some mini pumpkin pies, inspired by this recipe from the Adventures of a Dog Mom blog. I made a few tweaks due to Hoku’s possible Shiba wheat allergies and substituted the wheat flour for almond flour. And since I didn’t have any oatmeal, I used oat flour instead. And for the applesauce, we pureed a fresh Fuji apple.
So there you have it, a super simple and healthy Thanksgiving dessert!
