Homemade Critter Treat Recipe

Great for goats - and more!
While these started out as a way to give my spoiled goats a healthy treat, it turns out a whole range of animals love these treats - from dogs to cattle.

Give these a try for your favorite critters!

Baked to perfection!

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups Masa (corn flour)

  • 3 cups Rolled oats

  • 3/4 cup Brown sugar

  • 1 tsp Salt

  • 1 cup Vegetable oil

  • 1-2 cups Apple juice (less if you add wet fruits like bananas; more if you’re mixing in dried fruit or nuts)

  • 2-3 cups Your choice of shredded fruit or nuts (bananas, shredded apples, chopped nuts*, dried cranberries, shredded zucchini, etc.)

    *NOTE: If using nuts, check to make sure your choice of nuts are OK for your critters!

DIRECTIONS

Stir together masa, oats, sugar, and salt.

Stir in your fruit/nuts until evenly distributed.

Mix in apple juice.

Add vegetable oil a bit at a time, just enough for the dough to become mold-able.

Form into bite-sized balls, or press into a jelly roll pan.

Bake for 35-45mins at 350F. Allow to cool completely.

Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to a week.
