Valentine’s Day Pupcakes

Here are some Valentine’s Day pupcakes for your best friend. I thought my gang would be excited that I was baking treats…not so much.

Ollie and Nahla were all : Yeah, whatever, please don’t disturb our afternoon nap.

Buddy was bummed Ollie and Nahla took his bed.

Really? You’re gonna make me sleep on the floor? Not cool guys!

Meanwhile Kai decided it was the perfect time to change the heads on his drums. This is not a quiet process.

Amidst the banging and lack of enthusiasm I continued baking my pupcakes.

Bang! Thump! “Sorry mom.”

He’s adorable, my beautiful boy.

The recipe came from Cesar’s site. February 26th is World Spay Day. There are 600 MILLION homeless dogs. Please spay and neuter your pets.

Apple Pupcakes

• 2 3/4 Cups Water
• 1/4 Cup Applesauce
• 2 Tbsp. Honey
• 1/8 Tbsp. Vanilla
• 1 Med. Egg
• 4 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
• 1 Cup Dried Apple Chips
• 1 Tbsp. Baking Powder

Mix the water, applesauce, egg, vanilla and honey.

Add the flour, apple chips, and baking powder.

Grease a muffin pan or cake pan and bake at 350 degrees for an hour.

I tried several different pans. All of them turned out well.

Pupcake!

Individual pupcake birthday cakes. This mold was in a brownie baking kit I bought last year and never used.

The pupcakes seemed too plain. I added a banana peanut butter frosting.

• 1 Mashed Banana
• 2 Tbsp. Peanut Butter

They were a hit with all three dogs.

Ollie wasn’t so sure at first. Are there green beans in there?

Fabulous! More please!
