Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep Equipment

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a silicone muffin or mini-cake mold with a tiny dab of coconut oil to ensure easy removal after baking.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Silicone molds work best for keeping delicate dog cakes intact.

Step 2: Mix the Batter Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, pure pumpkin puree, organic egg, and low-sodium chicken bone broth. Stir vigorously with a spatula until a smooth, pliable dough forms.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** If the batter feels too sticky, add an extra tablespoon of oat flour.

Step 3: Incorporate the Chicken Filling

Gently fold the shredded chicken breast into two-thirds of the batter mixture, reserving the remaining plain batter and a small portion of chicken to create the soft lava center.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Keeping some filling moist ensures the center stays delightfully soft when cut.

Step 4: Assemble the Lava Cakes

Spoon the outer cake batter into the greased silicone molds, creating a small hollow well in the center of each. Fill the well with a spoonful of the remaining shredded chicken and a tiny drop of bone broth, then seal gently with a thin layer of reserved batter.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Do not overfill the molds to maintain proper structural integrity during baking.

Step 5: Bake and Cool

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the edges are golden and firm. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Always test the internal temperature to ensure the treats are lukewarm before letting your dog enjoy.
