PUPCAKES RECIPE
Makes 6 pupcakes
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 c plain yogurt
2 1/2 tablespoons safflower oil
2 tbsp honey
1 large egg
1/2 apple, chopped
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup diced carrot
Frosting
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons peanut butter
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line muffin tins with 6 paper liners. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and soda. In a medium bowl, blend together the yogurt,, oil, honey and eggs, then stir in the apple, cheese, and carrots. Add to the flour mixture and stir just until mixed (will be slightly lumpy).
Spoon the batter into the muffin tins, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Bake in the preheated oven about 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a pupcake comes out clean. Let the pupcakes cool in the tins on a rack for a few mintues, then remove and set aside to cool completely.
“Can I have one now, Mom?!”
“What do you mean I can’t have my birthday pupcake, yet?”
Beat the cream cheese mixture with a whisk attachment for about 2 minutes to start the frosting. Add in honey and peanut butter and beat for 2 additional minutes. Once cupcakes are cooled, pipe or spread frosting on top! Enjoy!
“Mom, this frosting is totally amazing! You should write a book on frosting!” (hint hint)
After birthday pupcakes, a sprawled-out nap is totally required….
If you love baking for your puppy dogs, then I highly recommend The Organic Dog Biscuit Cookbook: Over 100 “Tail Wagging” Recipes, it was given to me as a gift and it’s full of the most adorably named little treats (all perfectly safe for Fido).
Disclaimer: Do not feed a cupcake to your dog every day. Save these guys for special occasions (like puppy pawties)!Â
You GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Henry! Happy Birthday big boy!!!!

Paraphrasing because I don’t have the book handy, “…it’s a dog party! Big dogs, little dogs, black and white dogs…” The kids love that book :)

Happy Birthday Henry! He’s adorable! One of the photos reminds me of my precious Bojangles who is on the Rainbow Bridge. I might have to make these pupcakes for our two Springers. :-)

Such a lucky dog you are, Henry! You live the life of a prince…dogs, family that adores you, and a Mommy that bakes, too! Happy Birthday to you!
Today is my dog, Frankie’s 3rd birthday and I’m going to try out your frosting recipe tomorrow :)
I cannot believe Henry is 1 year old already. It seems like just yesterday you were telling us about your new puppy! Jake says to give him a high five and a big doggie hug! xo
Happy Birthday Henry!! My Shiner’s birthday is Saturday and I’m thinking he needs some wonderful pupcakes!!
I was wondering how long the shelf life would be on these cakes? Do you put them in the refrigerator? Can you freeze them?
How do you make the icing mixture thicker?? Mine was pretty flat
How did I miss this when he was 1? I love the pics!!! Kisses to Cousin Henry!
