I started making these as horse cookies, but then the hounds begged and got some of the smaller ones, an they love them! Then I offered them to a few other critters this morning and everyone likes them, from sheep to pig to horse or cow, at that point I need to try them myself and yup, they are awesome, not really sweet but crunchy, full of flavour and just plain tasty..

I put around a cup of oats and a cup of bran in bowl, with a crabapple size lump of coconut oil, and then poured boiling water of it, till it was just level to the top of the grain/bran and let it sit, swell and oil melt, then I mixed it together with a pint of sweetened apples sauce, and about a tsp of salt, and then use whole grain flour till I had a thick firm non-sticky dough.

Floured the pans, pressed it out, cut marked it, baked, then took it apart, cut each stripe into four and baked again, then allowed to sit in the oven overnight to cool and dry..
