Feb 19 Pupcakes (for dogs and humans)

breakfast, for dogs

I hate to admit that when I saw the American Express ad with the brown lab puppy and the making of the bone shaped pancakes, I loved it. And I knew I wanted to make bone shaped pancakes for my dog too, but with some different ingredients -- all dog friendly of course.Growing up, my mom liked (and still likes) Krusteaz pancake mix. I also admit that the mix makes great pancakes but I think making pancakes from scratch is just as easy. And you have a decision on what ingredients you are going to include. I like to experiment with pancakes and different kinds of flour. You can do that with this recipe too. Maybe substitute a 1/4 or 1/3 cup of almond flour, a cup of rye flour, more oats. Throw in some honey, chopped dark chocolate bar, and flaky sea salt (just for humans ;). Substitute buttermilk for the soy or almond or coconut. Butter or coconut oil for the olive oil. Go crazy and don't forget to give your sweet pup a bite.
