Basic corn bread mix is eggs/butter/sugar/salt/baking powder/milk/corn meal/flour
So for my birds this is what I do…
Eggs, Canola oil (small amount of Red Palm oil would do OR you can leave out the oil and put in homemade applesauce instead), Red Pepper flakes, Cayenne pepper, Cinn. Powder. I use Cranraisins with the Alfalfa bread
For my liquid I use what ever…meaning if I have cooked the Barley and lentils/spilt peas, I save that water and use it…you can use OJ/water…what ever liquid other than milk you want.. To know that I have the amount needed, the batter should POUR into the pan not plop in as being stiff…
I use NON aluminum baking powder
Corn meal
Flour is a combination of UNBLEACHED flour, whole Wheat flour, Rye Flour, Buckwheat flour and on occasion I will also add oat flakes (makes the bread DENSE but that is OK…
Now I have also said I don’t use pellets for my birds BUT I do buy Organic Alfalfa pellets and put in about 3 TBS in ½ cup hot water and this makes a mixture I add to one of the breads I make…
the other bread is PUMKIN bread and I use 1 cup of 100% pumpkin (not the pie cans type)
Now to this mixture I add cooked Barley, cooked lentils, cooked split peas( all have been cooked for 15 mins and drained.)
I also add ANY left over wet food from the AM feeding that was not fed to the birds…
I dust my sheet pans with oil and then put on either corn meal or flour to prevent sticking and gives a crust.
These two are baked for 45 mins in a 350º oven.
Taken out and cooled to be cut in the evening for feeding…
Now sometimes when they come out of the oven, I will spread Red Palm Oil over the top of each and let it soak in….
Here are the pictures of what I did today….
