Here's a comment I made on FB when someone asked. I will try to get an exact recipe next time.


I make veggie and oat dog treats a lot. I use either carrots or broccoli as the vegetable

Throw the veggies in a food processor and blend until it's as small as it will get. You can add a little water (I do this with broccoli, carrots normally don't need it) to help.

Then add some oats! About a cup or so, depending on how much veggies you added. Pulse just a little to help it get mixed up.

Pour into a mixing bowl. If it's super wet, add more oats. You want to add just enough flour to hold it together and make it doughy. So if it needs to dry up a lot, use oats. They're healthier than pouring in a lot of flour.
Once you have your oats and flour all mixed it, just make balls in you hands and flatten them into little discs! Put on a lightly greased (I use just a teeny bit of cooking spray) pan and bake at 350 for around 20 min. Flip half way through.

Before I got my food processor, I would steam the veggies until really soft and mash them like I was making mashed potatoes. Takes a lot more effort but gets the job done!
Sometimes I add peanut butter. I always throw in some flax if I have any on hand.

I'll measure next time so I can tell you exactly what amounts I add. I normally just eye ball it.

I am so going to try and veganize this. :yes:

You will need

  • 125g shelled pistachios
  • 250g soft unsalted butter
  • 250g caster sugar
  • 4 medium eggs
  • 100g ground almonds
  • 50g plain flour
For the topping
  • 200g cranberries, defrosted if frozen
  • 3 tbsp caster sugar
  • finely grated zest of 1 orange
  • 25g shelled unsalted pistachios, roughly chopped
step by step
  • 1Preheat the oven to 190°C, fan 170°C, gas 5. Butter a 22cm springform tin and line the base with baking paper.
  • 2Whiz the pistachios in a food processor until finely ground.
  • 3In a mixer or using an electric hand whisk, beat the butter and sugar together for 3-4 minutes until pale and fluffy. Next, whisk in the eggs, one by one, beating well in between each addition. Fold in the ground pistachios, ground almonds, flour and a pinch of salt.
  • 4Spoon the cake mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
  • 5For the topping, mix the cranberries, sugar and orange zest, scatter over the top of the cake and lightly press in. Bake for 50-55 minutes.
  • 6As soon as the cake is ready, sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top, pressing them lightly into the surface of the cake. Leave the cake to cool for 15 minutes, then remove from the tin and cool on a wire rack.
 
I'm thinking the pound cake recipe in Veganonicom might be a good start...

lol...and you what is even funnier? I started weight watchers online yesterday. :rofl:

There goes my points for an entire week, lol. :)
 
Oh, I will. If I'm good most days I am definitely going to leave room for an occasional indulgence. Total deprivation is a sure way to fail. :)
 
You had me at Snickers. :)
