1 cup carrot grated
1 apple grated
2 Tablespoons corn oil
1/4 cup molasses
1 tsp. salt
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease cookie sheet.

Then fold in SALT, OATS and FLOUR until well mixed.
Spread dough out in one big piece on the cookie sheet.
Score dough with a knife to make it easier to break apart after baking.
(Or try rolling dough out and cutting shapes with cookie cutters)
Cook for 20 minutes or until brown.
Let cool, break apart and serve.
2)EASY NO COOK BRAN SNAPS
4 cups BRAN

pin and cut shapes with cookie cutters. Let dough dry and serve.
3)OATMEAL BARS
2 cups dry oatmeal
3/4 cup grain
3 cups bran
1 cup molasses
Mix oats, grain and bran together in a bucket. Drizzle in molasses while mixing with your hands - you're looking for a consistency a little thinner than Play-Doh. Place dollops (about half a handful) on a cookie sheet and bake at 375º for ten minutes. These have a tendency to burn. They never get completely hard, but they store nicely. You can spread the mixture in a pan and cook it like bars, but only in a greased pan.
