This is a time of year when fresh, organic vegetables are plentiful and often on sale. There is an abundance of green, leafy vegetables at our disposal and their benefits to dogs and horses are many. They’re packed with nutrients, including Vitamins A, C and K, iron, folic acid, manganese, magnesium, calcium, glucosinolates and phytochemicals.
The sweet taste of these healthy muffins will entice dogs and horses to gobble them down!
Super-Greens Muffins for Dogs and Horses

In one bowl blend:
4 c flour or suitable flour substitute (we like green pea flour for dogs and whole wheat flour for horses)

1/2 tsp powdered seaweed
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Puree enough of the following vegetables to get about 2 cups:
Kale
Swiss Chard
Collard Greens
Turnip Greens
Radish Greens
Parsley leaves
In a second bowl blend:
2 cups of the above pureed greens
2 cups unprocessed coconut milk (or water + 1/2 tsp of vanilla)
2 TBSP unpasteurized honey (Manuka Honey offers more mineral benefits)
1 egg
- Preheat oven: 350F
- Slowly mix wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl.
- Pour into baking cups. Bake for about 45 minutes, then check every five minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Reduce cooking time for mini baking cups.
Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to two weeks. May be frozen for up to three months if properly sealed.

Made it! Both dogs gobbled them down. I had to use a little more dry ingredients because the vegetables made a lot of juice so I mixed in dry supplements.
Great idea! I’ve been baking, freezing and dehydrating vegetable treats all summer as my garden matures. It saves a lot of money for winter & uses up extras. I make treats out of bruised fruit too.
What a great GREEn recipe. I co host a Tasty Tuesday blog hop. Make sure to add this post/url on our next week hop. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
I have a horrible time remembering blog hops but I’ll try!
Love the very healthy sound of these muffins and especially appreciate the equine version! Just copied the recipe. Thanks!
Thanks for commenting, Sue. Have you posted pictures of your horse? I’d love to see them if you have a link to a photo. 🙂
Mummy these look yummy for my tummy!!! WOOFIE!!!
Sounds like a green smoothie in a muffin! I think I’ll try these myself, I bet they’d be good warm with melted butter.
