If you are making this recipe on the barbecue, grill them until the meat runs clear of the cooking juices.

The 2 ingredients
- 2 very ripe bananas
- 150g rolled oats
1. Using a fork, mix the bananas and oats together. Those with a sweet tooth can add little sweets of their choice*.
2. If the batter is too runny, the cookies will flatten out during baking. So add more rolled oats if the mixture seems too liquid for you to obtain a thick cookie dough.
3. Using a tablespoon, make small patties 3 cm in diameter on a buttered baking sheet.
4. Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated oven at 180°C.
5. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack.
*Add according to your tastes:
- 50g chocolate chips
- 50 g crushed walnut kernels
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 50 g raisins
The 2 ingredients
- 300g whole wheat flour
- 1 jar of baby food of about 200 g (beef, chicken, turkey, sweet potatoes, carrots, fruit)
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. In a bowl, mix the flour with the contents of the baby jar. If necessary, add a little flour to form a compact dough.
3. On a floured work surface, roll out the dough to 7mm thickness using a rolling pin.
4. Cut out dog biscuits with a cookie cutter, like this one in the shape of a bone that you can reuse for Halloween. You can also use a simple pizza wheel.
5. Put the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake them for 20 min.
7. Cool on a wire rack and store your dog biscuits in a paper bag.
Be careful, if you keep them in a Tupperware, the cookies will become very soft.
Tip: instead of baby food, you can simply mash your leftover vegetables!
The 2 ingredients
- 1 sachet of preparation for chocolate cake, like this one
- 200g pumpkin puree
- optional:chocolate chips
1. With a whisk or your electric mixer, mix the contents of the bag for cake with the puree. You get a smooth and fairly thick paste.
2. Option for foodies: add and mix a cup of chocolate chips to the batter.
3. Arrange muffin cases like these on a baking sheet. Lightly butter them.
4. Use a tablespoon or a pastry nozzle to put a little of your preparation in each of the cases. In principle, with a sachet of cake preparation, we arrive at about twenty muffins.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for around 20 minutes.
6. Let your muffins cool on a wire rack and, if desired, add homemade frosting. At home, we like to taste them when they come out of the oven!
