Birdie Pumpkin Bread
By adventurefamily5
from Phoenix Landing
- 15 oz can of organic pumpkin (including the pie spice, or you can add cinnamon and ginger, most birds really like the spices).
- 1/2 cup applesauce or one of the snack applesauce
- (a great substitute for oil)
- 1 egg
- 2 TBL quinoa (if you’d like to add some protein)
- Unsulphured dried fruits or nuts – whatever your birds most enjoy. Walnuts are high in Omega 3’s
- 2 cups flour (interesting flours include garbanzo, millet, ground oatmeal, coconut, organic cornbread mix, etc.). My favorite flour is Bob’s Redmill garbanzo bean flour. I like the texture and the nutritional content.
