Birdy bread recipe?

[lovebirds]

Hi,

Can anyone share with me a healthy (egg free) very easy birdy bread or muffin recipe I can bake for my birds?

All my attempts at baking for them have failed and there are things I think they'd eat in bread form which they refuse to try raw or boiled (like pumpkin or sweet potato).

Tomorrow is one of my lovie's hatchday and I think it'd be a good day to give baking another go. If anyone has any fail proof recipes please share them with me

(Preferably low in fat and protein because the birds are going through a hormonal phase)

Thanks in advance!

I made a type of "bread". The consistency isn't as flour-like as bread. But I would take 2-3 cups rolled oats, a mashed cooked sweet potato, some crushed up pellets, whatever other vegetables I wanted chopped up, about half a cup of flour and a sprinkle of cinnamon. I would add an egg, not shell, but I think it would be fine without it. Enough water to moisten everything. Mix it all up and bake in a pie pan at 350 degrees for about 20-25 min.

If you find a recipe that calls for an egg, just use flax seed as a replacement Still gives the bind like an egg. 1 tablespoon flax meal plus 3 tablespoons water = 1 egg.

If you use this method, do you just grind the whole flax seeds and then add the water?

Yep! Or I use store bought flax meal because I cook with it a lot myself so its already on hand.

You can also use straight chia seeds at a ratio of 1 tbsp seeds to 3 tbsp of water and let sit in warm water for 5 minutes for a similar effect!

That makes sense, since they're both mucilaginous.

That's exactly it
