Buckwheat And Apple Cup Cakes

Posted 2015-07-18 by Annalisa Brownfollow
This Buckwheat and Apple Cup Cake is better known in our family as Jasper’s Birthday Cake. It's ideal for Dogs and their Human Friends.

There is no denying the statistics; Australians love their animals and have one of the world’s highest rates of pet ownership.

Today our little furry man turns 9 years old however his verve for life and exuberance for food would make anyone think he is still a puppy. He is an integral part of our family structure and we would do anything to ensure his wellbeing and happiness.

Each year we celebrate his coming of age with an ensemble of different flavoured “dog friendly” cup cakes however, this year in line with our family’s clean eating and healthy outlook and approach to food, I decided to bake our little man’s birthday cake.

These Buckwheat and Apple Cup Cakes are incredibly healthy and are gluten free, dairy free (other than the frosting) and vegan friendly.

I had to keep “his dad” from eating all the cupcakes.

Jaspers Birthday Cake is ideal for Dogs and their Human Friends.
