Ingredients:
- 1 large ripe apple (or 2 small ones), roughly cubed (because every horse deserves a lil’ apple sweetness!)
- 2 large carrots, grated (Carrot-tastic!)
- 2 cups of whole wheat flour (for that healthy twist)
- 3 1/2 cups of oats (think of it as the “crunch” in your munch)
- 1/2 cup of molasses (sticky, sweet, and oh-so-neat!)
Directions:
- Gather the Troops: Put on your favorite cowboy hat (optional but recommended) and round up all those delicious ingredients.
- Stirring Time: In a food processor, combine your apples, carrots, and flour. Mix it like you’re blending the finest horse feed, or at least making the best salad for your equine buddy.
- Oat Power: Toss in those oats, whole and delicious.
- The Sticky Situation: Pour in that heavenly molasses. This is the step where things might get a little…sticky. Brace yourself!
- Mix & Mingle: Pulse until all the ingredients are well combined. Think of it as a little dance where apples and carrots waltz together.
- Shape ‘em up: With your hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into small balls or patties. Whichever shape you believe your horse might fancy. Maybe even a horseshoe if you’re feeling artsy!
- Baking Time: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your creations on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 15 minutes or until they turn a lovely shade of golden-brown, reminiscent of a beautiful Palomino.
- Cool & Serve: Allow them to cool, then present these treats to your horse and await the inevitable hoof-taps of approval.
Homemade Horse Treats are Human-Friendly
A Word of Caution: These homemade horse treats are so darn scrumptious; you might be tempted to nibble on one or two yourself. But remember, they’re horse treats! (Although, a little birdy told me they’re pretty tasty with a cup of coffee.)
In Closing:
There you have it – a recipe that’s perfect for any horse, and maybe even a daring human or two! Whether you have a majestic thoroughbred, a sassy Shetland pony, or anything in between, this recipe is the ultimate ticket to becoming their favorite human.
