My baby girl, Luna, turned six yesterday. SIX. Where oh where has the time gone? It seems just yesterday she was a small bundle of fur, bumbling around on tiny puppy paws, pooping in every corner she could find, and chewing up everything I owned. In return she taught me responsibility, patience, and as cliche as this is, she taught me all about love. She got away with everything because she's so cute. Who can seriously reprimand a puppy face? Not me - perhaps that's why all of my dogs are so spoiled. I genuinely believe all dogs deserved to be spoiled for everything they do for us, teach us, and give us. A dog-birthday is nothing to be taken lightly!
Pupcakes
makes 9 pupcakes
1 Egg
1/4 c. Natural Peanut Butter
1/4 c. Cooking Oil
1/3 c. Honey
1 c. Shredded Carrots
1 c. Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the egg, peanut butter, oil, honey, and carrots in a large bowl, blend well. Combine flour and baking soda then add to the carrot/peanut butter mixture. Blend just until moist. Spoon cake batter into muffin cup lined tins. Fill 2/3 full. Bake for roughly 20 minutes or until golden brown. Insert toothpick in center to check done-ness. Cool completely on a wire rack. Ice with natural peanut butter if desired and top with a milk bone. We happen to have two very small dogs so I had the perfect pupcake-sized mini milk bones on hand.
Freeze the rest or share the wealth if you have other dogs. Russell, Chester, and our cat, Shanks, shared a pupcake. No way their tiny bellies could handle a full pupcake. Luna got a full pupcake though - she's a professional at this kinda thing.
Taunting your dog with the pupcake is totally optional :P
