| Norma Jean's oatmeal raisin cookies |
 |
|
This recipe is modified from a vegan cookie recipe I tried. They were awful, but they inspired me to make this one for my birds. I think I’ll call them "Norma Jeans". My flock LOVE them! I’m going to try to modify the recipe a little by adding some ground collard greens, about ½ of a cup. My guys won’t touch greens, maybe I can fool them! I use mostly organic ingredients. Be sure that the raisins aren’t processed with sulfur.
In a food processor;
apple sauce, unsweetened ½ cup
Bananas, ripe 2 cups
puree then add ;
raisins ½ c.
pulse until raisins are about ¼ of their normal size. Separately in a large bowl combine;
whole or cracked wheat ½ cup
rolled oats 2 cups
baking soda 1 tsp.
flaxseed 2 Tbls.
Pour in the banana mixture and fold until well blended. Spoon onto a sheet tray in 12 equal portions, flatten slightly and bake 275 degrees (F) for about 20 to 25 minutes.
Divide each cookie into 8 portions. They can be frozen.
Yield; 96 portions
25.75 calories, .8 grams protein, 3.15 grams carbohydrates each portion.
Let me know what your birds think! |
