• Plain, non-fat Greek yogurt, 1 1/2 pounds
• a single handful of toasted rolled oats
• 1 handful of small slices of unseasoned, unsalted walnuts
• Pumpkin seeds, 1 handful, unseasoned and unsalted
• finely chopped craisins
• 1 tiny handful Papaya Snacks and then, 
• Coconut oil, 1 teaspoon

Supplies

• baking pan
• Nonstick mixing spoon and parchment paper
• Spatula
• Fork
• Scooper

This recipe produces 8 fruitcakes

Serving size advised: 1 to 2 fruitcakes per hamster.

Preparation: one hour

Up to 40 minutes to bake.

1 hour 40 minutes in total

Instructions

4. Firstly, set the oven’s temperature to 400 degrees.
5. In an oven-safe pan, bake the cubed butternut squash, sweet potatoes, or pumpkin for 30 to 45 minutes, or until tender. You can add a little water to make them soften if necessary.
6. Then combine the yogurt with the toasted oats, walnuts, and craisins.
7. Drain the extra water and mash the softened pumpkin, apple, and pear chunks.
8. Combine the yogurt mixture with the mashed fruit by stirring everything together.
9. Turn the oven’s temperature up to 350 degrees.
10. Use coconut oil to grease the baking sheet.
11. Use a small ice cream scooper to form the cake batter into tiny loaves or small balls, and then arrange them on the baking sheet about a 12-inch apart from one another.
12. For about 15 minutes, bake the cakes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. But don’t burn them. So you have to keep checking on them. This is because hamsters also don’t like burned cake.
13. Then turn the cakes over and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes, or until they are firm. (Depending on how well you dried the mashed fruits, the entire baking time may take up to 40 minutes; be sure to cook the cakes long enough until they are no longer mushy or sticky.)
14. Then permit cakes to cool because they are the best hamster treats.
15. Add toppings and papaya treats with unseasoned, toasted pumpkin seeds as a garnish.
16. Add a small dollop of fat-free Greek yogurt to finish.
