Hamster Sweet Potato Pie
A delightful and nutritious pie made of creamy sweet potatoes, with a hint of apple sweetness, all wrapped in a wholesome oat crust. It's a slice of comfort your hamster will adore!
Equipment
- Mini pie tin or silicone mold
- Mixing bowl
- Fork or potato masher
- Oven or toaster oven
Ingredients
- 1 small sweet potato
- 1/4 apple finely grated
- 1 tsp chia seeds soaked in a bit of water for 10 minutes
- 1/4 cup oats finely ground
- A tiny sprinkle of water
Instructions
- Prepare the Pie Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the finely ground oats with a sprinkle of water. Mix until it forms a dough-like consistency. Press this mixture into your mini pie tin or silicone mold to form a crust. Make sure it covers the base and the sides evenly.
- Cook the Sweet Potato: Prick the sweet potato with a fork and cook in a microwave for about 4-5 minutes, or until soft. If you prefer the old-fashioned way, you can steam or boil it till tender. Once cooked, let it cool slightly and then peel off the skin.
- Mash and Mix: In your mixing bowl, mash the sweet potato until smooth. Mix in the finely grated apple and soaked chia seeds to add a hint of sweetness and a boost of nutrition.
- Fill the Pie: Spoon your sweet potato mixture into the oat crust, pressing gently to ensure it's evenly spread.
- Bake the Pie: Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your pie in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the edges of the oat crust turn a light golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before serving to your hamster. Remember, my darlings, always ensure treats are at room temperature to protect those precious hamster tongues!
