Hay-Stuffed Stocking Cups

Because stockings are better when they’re edible.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Timothy hay (chopped fine)

• ½ cup shredded carrots

• ¼ cup diced green bell peppers (for that festive Christmas color!)

• 1 tablespoon rolled oats

• 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

2. In a bowl, mix Timothy hay, carrots, bell peppers, and oats. Add water to help bind the mixture.

3. Press into festive shapes — stocking molds are chef’s-kiss perfect — or use a muffin tray.

4. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until firm and lightly golden.

5. Let cool completely before serving.

🎄 Pro Tip: Silicone molds make cleanup easy and create Instagram-worthy shapes every time.

Holly Jolly Berry Nibbles

Small, sweet, and perfect for Christmas Day snacking!

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons ground oats

Instructions

1. Mash the banana in a mixing bowl (cue dramatic Christmas music 🎶).

2. Stir in berries, kale, and oats until evenly combined.

3. Form small holly-shaped patties or use festive cookie cutters.

4. Bake at 275°F (135°C) for 20 minutes, or until firm.

🐾 Safe Treat Tips

• Always introduce new treats slowly to avoid tummy troubles.

• Double-check ingredients for toxicity — no chocolate, onions, garlic, or nuts.

• Treats should never replace a balanced diet of hay, fresh veggies, and pellets.
