Father’s Day Cupcakes
So sometimes I have to take advantage of the fact that I’m in charge of the food around here. Most of the time we eat really healthy food, but on Friday I couldn’t stand it. Ellie had the day off school (Matthew’s already done with his), we were going crazy, and I wanted chocolate.
A while ago Roni at Green Lite Bites tweeted about changing this recipe to chocolate, and it had been simmering in the back of my brain long enough. Using the excuse that the kids need to get more vegetables, I decided to make it – calling them Father’s Day cupcakes, of course. As a side note, do you know how difficult it is to find canned pumpkin (without the pie spices premixed in) around here in June? Three stores hard!
-
- Good cooking practice includes mixing pumpkin with egg white next to clean dishes, right?
-
- Matthew wasn’t so convinced this was going to taste good.
-
- Starting the mixing. Well, after I cleaned up the 1/4 cup of dry mix they flung out of the bowl onto the floor.
-
- Ahh, it’s starting to look like batter…
-
- Might as well not let the cupcake liner paper thingies go to waste!
-
- Thank goodness I could convince my kids sprinkles can take the place of frosting! Apparently Matthew wanted all the sprinkles on one cupcake.
-
- Weren’t those sprinkles supposed to go on the cupcakes?
-
- There’s no point in letting sprinkles go to waste!

One question – what are you doing up at 8:54 on father’s day?
(Excuse the last comment. The girl took control of the keyboard.)
8:54? I was up at 5:54. *sigh* It’s the stupid “if you see it’s light outside you can’t get back to sleep” gene.
