Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp applesauce unsweetened
  • 1/4 tsp flaxseed finely ground
  • 1 tbsp carrot finely grated
  • 1 tsp raw pumpkin seeds crushed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Your Oven: Begin by warming up your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it's getting cozy, line your baking sheet with parchment paper for a no-stick treat experience.
  • Mix the Dry Ingredients: In your mixing bowl, lovingly combine the rolled oats and ground flaxseed. These ingredients are not just tasty; they're chock-full of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, promoting a happy tummy and a glossy coat.
  • Add Wet Ingredients: Fold in the unsweetened applesauce and grated carrot into your dry mix. The applesauce acts as a natural sweetener and binder, while the carrot offers a nibble of sweetness and a crunch they'll crave.
  • Pumpkin Seed Sprinkle: Gently mix in the crushed pumpkin seeds. These little seeds are nutritional powerhouses, packed with magnesium, zinc, and fatty acids, perfect for a healthy snack
  • Shape the Cookies: With your fork, mash the mixture together until it's well combined and holds together. Scoop tiny portions of the mixture onto your lined baking sheet. Flatten them slightly to form mini cookies, perfect for tiny paws.
  • Bake with Love: Slide your baking sheet into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies begin to turn a golden brown. The aroma will be delightful, but patience is key.
  • Cooling Time: After baking, let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. They need to be completely cool before offering them to your hamster pal.
  • A Moment of Joy: Once cooled, it's time to treat your hamster to a Hamster Harvest Cookie. Watch their delight and know you've made their day special.
