Equipment
- Small mixing bowl
- Blender or food processor
- Small oven-safe dish hamster-sized
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 apple eeled, cored, and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 oat flour
- 1 tsp water
- 1 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure your pie bakes evenly.
- Prepare the Filling: In your blender or food processor, puree half of the chopped apple and half of the blueberries to create a fruity filling. The rest will be used for the pie topping.
- Make the Crust: In your mixing bowl, combine the oat flour with water and olive oil. Mix until it forms a dough-like consistency. If it’s too dry, add a little more water.
- Assemble the Pie: Press the oat flour dough into your small oven-safe dish to form a pie base. Spoon the apple and blueberry puree over the crust. Then, top with the remaining chopped apple and blueberries.
- Bake the Pie: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. The pie should be firm and the fruits softened.
- Cool Down: It's crucial to let the pie cool completely before giving it to your hamster. Warm food can be harmful to them.
- Serve a Tiny Slice: Cut a small, hamster-sized piece of the pie to serve to your pet. Remember, this is a treat and should not replace their regular diet.
- Storing the Treat: Store any leftover pie in the fridge, and use within 2-3 days.
