Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with non-stick spray.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, grated carrots, and whole wheat flour. Stir until well blended.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until fully incorporated. Ensure there are no dry pockets of flour.

Step 6

Scoop the mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool completely before serving to your horse.
