Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup carrot finely shredded
  • 1/4 cup spinach finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/8 cup water you may need a bit more or less, so add gradually
  • 1 tsp olive oil just a tiny bit for that shiny coat!

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Start by warming up your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). If your oven is a chatterbox like mine, it'll let you know when it's ready with a little ding!
  • Mix the Greens: In a large mixing bowl, lovingly combine the shredded carrot, chopped spinach, and parsley. Imagine you're creating a mini salad fit for a king—well, a very small king!
  • Add the Binders: Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over your veggie mix. Drizzle in the olive oil and start adding water bit by bit. You're aiming for a dough that's sticky enough to hold together but not too wet. It's a bit like making a tiny, edible sculpture!
  • Shape the Bites: With the patience of a saint and the gentle touch of a summer breeze, shape the dough into small, bite-sized pieces. Think pea-sized for those dainty hamster mouths. If the dough sticks to your hands, a wee bit of flour can be your best friend.
  • Bake to Perfection: Arrange your veggie masterpieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. They love their personal space, so keep them a tad apart. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until you see them wearing a golden-brown coat that would make the autumn leaves jealous.
  • Cool Down: After baking, let these little treasures cool completely. They're like tiny volcanoes right out of the oven, and we wouldn't want to burn those precious hamster tongues.
  • Hamster Feast: Serve these Whisker-Lickin' Veggie Bites to your furry friend and watch them nibble with glee! Remember, these are treats, so sprinkle them into their diet like fairy dust – a little goes a long way.
