One of my newest pets is the wonderful sugar glider. We started our venture into sugar glider ownership back in 2011 when we adopted a couple of gliders from a couple looking to rehome them. When we realized the female had joeys in her pouch, we started on a journey of pet ownership that has been very rewarding. For such little animals, these guys show an amazing amount of love to their humans. So, I wanted to see if I could show them my appreciation by giving them a tasty, homemade treat. I made tiny glider-sized cookies that some of them seemed to really enjoy. As long as they're sweet, my little sweet-toothed bears seemed interested in trying them.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup baby cereal
1/4 cup wheat germ
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup honey
1/8 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/8 cup fruit puree (I used cantaloupe with a little apple juice to thin it out)
3 tbsp. egg white
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Place in baby cereal and wheat germ in a bowl with baking powder and baking soda. Whisk until well combined.
In another bowl, add honey, applesauce, egg white and pureed fruit mixture. With an electric mixer on low speed, mix until well combined.
Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix ingredients together until combined.
Spray a cookie sheet with canola cooking spray. Using a 1/8 tsp, spoon small drops of cookie on the pan.
Bake 10-12 minutes until cookies are brown. Let cookies cool and place in a storage container.
Give to your favorite sugar bears and watch them enjoy.
