Apple Banana Treats For Bunny Rabbits Food

APPLE & BANANA TREATS (FOR BUNNY RABBITS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Using a masher, mash together apples and bananas with honey until smooth.
• Grind pellets and oats in a blender or food processer (make sure to wash thoroughly after!). Add the grinded powder to the apple/banana mixture and mix until well blended.
• Allow dough to cool and stiffen in fridge.
• Drop small nickel-sized balls of dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Do not grease the sheet. Cook for 30 minutes of until brown on the bottom. When done cooking, turn of the oven and leave treats in the oven until the oven cools to give the treat a nice crunch. Once cooled, place in a sealed container or bag and stick in the fridge. Can be left in the fridge for about a week without spoiling and can be frozen to last longer. (Thaw frozen treats before giving to bunny).

PEAR & BANANA BUNNY RABBIT TREATS FOR BUNNIES/RABBITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Mash together pear and bananas with honey until smooth.
• Grind pellets, oats, and Cheerios using a coffee grinder (use a grinder only used to make rabbit treats). Mix in with pear/banana mixture until well blended together and allow to cool if you've steamed the pears.
• Place the dough on either a piece of parchment paper or a Silpat (silicone baking) mat. Whichever you use, place it on a baking sheet for stability.
• Place a piece of plastic wrap over the dough and roll out until it's about 1/4 inch thick.
• Some folks use a cookie cutter for the next step, but I just score the rolled-out dough with a large knife in any pattern I want. Be very careful you're not cutting the material beneath the dough (either the paper or the Silpat). You only need to SCORE the dough, not cut all the way through. When they're done, they'll easily break apart.
• Cook for 30 minutes or until brown on bottom. Check at 20 minutes. My guy doesn't like them overdone.
• Let cool - for a crunchier treat, turn off the oven, leaving the sheet in until it cools.
• Once cooled, place in sealed container or bag and refrigerate or freeze. I usually keep a weeks' worth in the refrigerator and the rest are divided into weekly portions and go into vacuum-packed bags in the freezer.

BUNNEH'S BUNNY RABBIT TREATS

Steps:

• Mix pureed carrot, mashed banana and honey in a medium bowl.
• Add ground pellets and ground oats. Mix until blended.
• Knead in your hands for 1-2 minutes. It'll probably be pretty sticky.
• Place dough on large piece of parchment paper and cover with plastic wrap. Roll dough to about 1/8" thickness. Peel off plastic wrap.
• Score flattened dough with large knife in 1-inch cross sections like tiles. You're not separating the tiles, just scoring them for easy breaking apart later.
• Transfer parchment onto cookie sheet and bake at 325F for about 30-40 minutes, checking to make sure they don't over-brown.
• Turn off the oven, leaving the cookie sheet in the oven for another hour until the treats dry to crispness.
• Remove from oven and cool completely on cooling rack.
• Break the tiles apart - easy! - and store in a zip lock bag in the fridge.
• Give one to your bunny on each day that he/she is adorable. (That's every day, of course!).
