Oat ‘n’ Apple Chewies
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup oat bran cereal or ground oatmeal
- ½ cup all purpose flour (approx.)
PREPARATION:
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Oil a 9inch x 9inch square cake pan
Spread the batter evenly in the cake pan and bake for 20-30 minutes. The batter will start to shrink away from the sides and it will be firm to the touch.
Molasses Cookies Horse Treats
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 ½ cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup bran
- 1 cup molasses
- 1 cup grated carrot or apple
PREPARATION:
- Preheat oven to 375F
- Oil two cookie sheets
In a large bowl mix all the ingredients thoroughly. The mixture shouldn’t be too wet, and should stick together.
Add more flour to make the mixture firmer and hold together if necessary. Drop by teaspoonfuls, about 1 ½ inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Grease the bottom of the glass, dip it in the sugar, and stamp the cookies to flatten them slightly. Bake for about 10 minutes. This makes about 25 cookies, depending on the size. Store in an air-tight container or bag.
Head Bobbers
- 3 or 4 apples, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 cup carrots, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons corn oil
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup bran or grain of your choice, optional
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a large cookie sheet. Mix apples, carrots, oil, and molasses. Then mix in oats and flour. You can either spread the mix on a cookie sheet and break apart after they are baked, or roll the dough out and cut into cookie shapes. Cook for about 20 minutes. Let cool.
Happy Baking!! 🙂
