It’s Sweet Potato Season. While I have nothing against the smell of fresh pumpkin spice in the air, in my house sweet potato pie was on the dessert menu. It wasn’t even a family dinner without sweet potato pudding. And, don’t get me started on ow Sugar hovers around the kitchen when she smells sweet potatoes baking in the oven. So, to kick off this sweet potato season right with these Sweet Potato Peanut Butter Pupcakes.
WHY WE LOVE THESE PUPCAKES
Sweet potatoes not only taste good, but they’re also considered a superfood for dogs. Sweet potatoes are high in fiber, a good source of beta-carotene, and good source of vitamin A and C. These Sweet Potato Peanut Butter Pupcakes are simple to bake, but will stand out at any pup party.
WHEN TO BAKE THESE PUPCAKES
The lazy days of summer are over and fall is here, which means my calendar is booked. Sometimes this means leaving Sugar at home by herself a little longer. These Sweet Potato Peanut Butter Pupcakes are a great fall treat for your dog. Especially during those cozy moments when you’re bonding with your dog after working all day.
BAKING BARKFIRMATION
“I bake from my soul.” Baking is about the experience before, during, and after. The aromas, the laughs, the ingredients, the recipes. Even, the mistakes that we make to learn along the way. When we bake, we bake from our heart and soul. The energy we bake with is the energy we pass on.
