Hamster safe birthday treats?

Celeste turned 2 years old today and I wanted to make her something to celebrate it. I was thinking of a peanut butter, banana and flour mixture that I would then bake and frost with plain yogurt. What do you think?

Flour actually has a large amount of sugar. Maybe make a veggie salad. cucumber, carrot, zucchini, small amount of lettuce makes a good birthday treat

Happy Birthday Celeste! Madison had peanut butter and carrot "cake" - not a cake at all but she didn't know any different

I used whole grain flour, which I think doesn't have the sugar content in it. I basically made a cake out of peanut butter, flour and water, and a frosting out of cornstarch, organic clover honey and plain non flavored yogurt. It looks good if I do say so myself, and being a one time treat, of which I'm giving a small amount, it shouldn't be too bad for my Celeste, who is a Syrian by the way.

Happy Birthday Celeste

Sounds like a lovely treat for a very special day & fine in small amounts.

Flour doesn't contain sugar btw!

A lot of brands in the US have sugar cypher

Are you thinking of cake mixes or something? Surely plain flour doesn't have sugar does it?

The majority of flour sold in the US has sugar in it.
