Homemade Bunnie Biscuts

[JimD]

Remember, these are treats, so give them sparingly.

1 small carrot, pureed (can substitute apple or pear)
1/2 banana, mashed until really creamy
1 tbsp honey
1/4 cup rabbit pellets, ground finely in a coffee grinder
1/4 cup ground oats, ground finely in a coffee grinder

Mix pureed carrot, banana and honey in a medium bowl. Add pellet powderand ground oats. Mix until blended. Knead in your hands for 1-2minutes. Roll out the "dough" in 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick layers betweensheets of plastic wrap. Cut into small cookies (about 3/4 inch across).Place cut shapes onto a parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Bake at325 degrees for about 30 minutes (check to make sure they are notbrowning too much). Turn off the heat and let the cookies sit in thewarm oven for an hour or so.


Enjoy

Probably.

The original recipe actually called for flour.

 

[JimD]

I was also thinking that they might be good if I add craisins!

Sounds like a good thing to try if only i had a coffee grinder. not a coffee drinker here.

A blender would work.

or.. ..

You could probably use a rolling pin to crush/grind the pellets.

and.. ..

The oats you might be able to use as they are. Or maybe chop them up as much as possible with a sharp knife.

I made a batch of these this past weekend. I added some raisins and craisins to the recipe.

THE BUNS LOVED THEM

It was a little time consuming because of the grinding and pureeing.

Grinding the pellets is unavoidable, but I was thinking of using babyfood for the carrots and banana. I ground the pellets and oats togetherat the same time.

I highly recommend adding raisins and craisins, too.

And I baked them like brownies and skipped the parchment paper stuff. Ijust mushed the mix into a throw-away aluminum pan (a meatloaf sizedone worked great for the amount). I also scored it into 1/2" X 1/2"pieces before baking, so it would break apart easier. The recipe makesabout 2 doz.

I wrapped them up in packages so I could freeze them (in my case they were packs of 7..... I wonder why!?!)

The bunnies really go nuts over them. Binkie almost fell out of hercage trying to get one out of my hand last night. Luckily I caughther....and then she bit me....:X...again.

Gave out the last ones so I'll have to whip up another batch this weekend.

Great ideas, JimD! I will add the raisins and craisins. Will definitely try them out.

Funny that you should mention this today because Tina was just talkingabout how she'd have to try a new treat for Apollo.
