Thanksgiving cakepops


I used my own recipe for these cake pops.
For recipes and  to decorate them there are lots of websites to choose from I used Petitchef it has a gr8 tutorial, the only thing I done different was I used chocolate coated sunflower seeds for the beak because I could not find mini jelly beans( I would not recommend it as the shell breaks)

2. Get 1/2 cup of the oats and pulse in a food processor until ground then mix back together with remaining oats and mix in cinnamon ( if you don't have a food processor then just skip that bit).

3. Beat egg white until frothy, then beat in honey, peanut butter and add the other oats mixture stir stir in butter and mix well. Stir in raisins.

4. Spread the mix over the bottom of your parchment lined baking dish evenly.

5. Place in oven and bake for 25 mins, remove and let cool for 5 mins.  The slowly cut with a sharp knife into  12-16 bars. Return to oven for further 15 mins on 300F , then remove and let cool completely.
