1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
-
2
Mash together pear and bananas with honey until smooth.
-
3
Grind pellets, oats, and Cheerios using a coffee grinder (use a grinder only used to make rabbit treats).
-
4
Mix in with pear/banana mixture until well blended together and allow to cool if you've steamed the pears.
-
5
Place the dough on either a piece of parchment paper or a Silpat (silicone baking) mat.
-
6
Whichever you use, place it on a baking sheet for stability.
-
7
Place a piece of plastic wrap over the dough and roll out until it's about 1/4 inch thick.
-
8
Some folks use a cookie cutter for the next step, but I just score the rolled-out dough with a large knife in any pattern I want.
-
9
Be very careful you're not cutting the material beneath the dough (either the paper or the Silpat).
-
10
You only need to SCORE the dough, not cut all the way through.
-
11
When they're done, they'll easily break apart.
-
12
Cook for 30 minutes or until brown on bottom.
-
13
Check at 20 minutes.
-
14
My guy doesn't like them overdone.
-
15
Let cool - for a crunchier treat, turn off the oven, leaving the sheet in until it cools.
-
16
Once cooled, place in sealed container or bag and refrigerate or freeze.

I usually keep a weeks' worth in the refrigerator and the rest are divided into weekly portions and go into vacuum-packed bags in the freezer.
