Instead, grease your muffin tin with butter or oil.Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.Peanut butter: Use all natural peanut butter with no added sugar or sugar substitutes, such as xylitol. The only ingredients should be peanuts and salt.Substitute flour with rice flour or gluten-free oat flour.Consult your pet's veterinarian regarding possible allergies your dog may have.
