Princess Pixie's Peanut Butter Pony Bites

Here are some of the lower sugar cookies Mom said she'd make for me:


Princess Pixie's Peanut Butter Pony Bites

2 mashed bananas
1 cup smooth peanut butter 
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour (or flax meal if you prefer)

1 cup Quaker Oats
2 tablespoons vanilla
3/4 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon baking powder


1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 
2. In a large mixing bowl, mash bananas until liquidy. Then mix your coconut oil and peanut butter until smoothish.
3. Add in the applesauce, and mix again. Next, put in flour, oats, vanilla, baking soda, & baking powder. Mix until well blended. Add bananas and mix again.
4. Take a rounded teaspoon and spoon onto a cookie sheet.
5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on your oven. Be careful not to overbake. It is important to let them cool for several minutes before attempting to take off of the sheet, it gives them time to harden.

Princess Pixie's Sparkly Flax Snax

Mom is always trying out new horse cookie recipes as many of the store bought ones out there are not fit for picky princess ponies. Here is her latest one:


Princess Pixie's Sparkly Flax Snax


1 cup oats (I used rolled horse oats since I had some at the barn, but if you want them to be human edible too, then use Quaker Oats or the like)
1 cup flour
3/4 cup flax meal
3 Tbsp coconut oil
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup molasses

Preheat over to 350. Mix the oats and flour in a large mixing bowl. Put the flax meal, coconut oil, baking powder, baking soda, & cinnamon in a food processor and mix together. Add to the flour and oats in the mixing bowl. Add the molasses and mix all the ingredients together until they become "dough like." Spoon tablespoon size balls onto greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with edible glitter in the color of your choice. (I chose purple.) Bake 15 mins. Then sprinkle with colored sugar (this time I chose blue!) and bake an additional 5-10 mins. Cool and feed to happy ponies :)


... and yes, I supposed you could make them without the glitter and colored sugar, but really, where's the fun in that?!


Mom says she's going to try and make some low sugar ones next time. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how they turn out...
