Brenda's Homemade Bunny Biscuits
Kirsten Macintyre
This recipe came to us from our friends "North of theBorder". Brenda Plaxton, the kitchen whiz who invented it, lives onSalt Spring Island in British Columbia, Canada. Brenda originallycreated these treats for her own buns, Finnegan, Fiona, and Satchmo(her border collie, Brodie, rather likes the biscuits, too!). Brendashared her own recipe with another Salt Spring Island rabbit lover,Libby Hughes-Klokeid, who then sent it to us.
Remember, these are treats, so give them sparingly.
1 small carrot, pureed
1/2 banana, mashed until really creamy
1 tbsp honey
1/4 cup rabbit pellets, ground finely in a coffee grinder
1/4 cup ground oats, ground finely in a coffee grinder
Mix pureed carrot, banana and honey in a medium bowl. Add pellet powderand ground oats. Mix until blended. Knead in your hands for 1-2minutes. Roll out the "dough" in 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick layers betweensheets of plastic wrap. Cut into small cookies (about 3/4 inch across).Place cut shapes onto a parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Bake at325 degrees for about 30 minutes (check to make sure they are notbrowning too much). Turn off the heat and let the cookies sit in thewarm oven for an hour or so.
Brenda adds: Next time, I am going to try finely ground rolled oats inplace of the flour. I am sure that lots of other changes could be made,and these would still work. For example you could replace the carrotwith apple or pear.
