1 c. flour – Brown, Rice or whatever type of healthy flour
1/2 cups Uncooked Oats
1/3 cup Hemp Hearts (see below for substitutions)
1/4 cup Uncooked Quinoa
1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
2 eggs, with or without shell. My bird doesn’t like the shell in.
1/3 cup Unsweetened Applesauce or Baby Food of choice
2 Mashed Bananas
1/2 cup of Almond Butter – or any other nut butter, such as peanut butter with no sugar or salt added
1 cup Mixed Veggies of your choice. I used carrots, spinach, and broccoli or bell peppers chopped fine in blender.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Mix the dry ingredients and then add the rest. If mixture is too dry, slowly add a little water at a time. You want this mixture to be fairly dry though – just wet enough that it will all stick together.
Lightly grease small muffin tins and spoon mixture into each one. They won’t rise much, if at all, so you can fill them right up, or above the edges.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the tops start to brown and get a little crunchy.
Let cool for a few minutes then pop them out onto a cooling rack.
I like to store them in a gallon Ziplock bag in the freezer, so I can take one out at a time. Then I just warm it in microwave for 30 seconds on high. Just make sure it is cool before serving. I crumble it up for my bird, he prefers that.
If you don’t have hemp hearts – (I suggest you buy some as they are extremely healthy for both people and birds and parrots love them) – Substitute any sort of nut (walnuts, almonds or pecans), broken up fairly fine, or sunflower seeds, or flax or chia seeds. Use your imagination.
