Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon or spatula
- Grater
- Small baking tray
- Parchment paper or nonstick spray
- Fork or potato masher
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 apple diced into small pieces
- 1 medium carrot finely grated
- 1 –2 cups molasses or 1 cup honey
- 1 ripe banana well mashed
- ¼ cup water
- Optional: A small handful of horse pellets for extra texture
Instructions
Heat The Oven
- Warm your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet or muffin tin with parchment paper so the treats don’t stick.
Prep The Produce
- Grate the carrot, chop the apple into tiny pieces, and mash the banana until it’s smooth.
Mix The Dry Stuff
- Pour the oats (and pellets if you want to include them) into a large bowl.
Add The Wet Ingredients
- Stir in the mashed banana, grated carrot, apple pieces, molasses or honey, and a bit of water. Mix everything until it forms a thick, sticky batter.
Adjust As Needed
- If the mixture seems too dry, splash in a little more water. If it’s too runny, sprinkle in some extra oats.
Shape And Bake
- Form the batter into small mounds or spoon it into muffin cups. Bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until the treats are firm and lightly browned.
Cool And Serve
- Let the treats cool completely before offering them to your horse. Keep any extras in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
