Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Grated carrots
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Molasses
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, grated carrots, and whole wheat flour. Stir until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, unsweetened applesauce, honey, molasses, water, and salt.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until fully incorporated. Ensure there are no dry pockets of flour.
Sprinkle in the baking soda and mix well to evenly distribute.
Scoop the mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool completely before serving to your horse.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze.
