Einstein's Granola
This is an all around tasty and healthy snack treat. Not intended to be fed as the main part of a diet. A small amount is put in my cage or on my play stand. It can also be tucked away inside foraging toys. This recipe is only a guide as the ingredients can vary according to what is favored by your birdies. The granola can also be made into logs, bars, or cookies.
Einstein's Granola
Step #1: Chop in a food processor:
1/2 cup unsalted (raw) mixed nuts (pecans, almonds, walnuts, etc.) Place in a medium bowl.
Add:
2 cups 5 grain rolled hot cereal ( uncooked)
1/2 sliced almonds
2 Tbsp. golden flax seed
3 Tbsp. hulled sunflower seed
3 Tbsp. pumpkin seed
2 Tbsp. pine nuts
4 Tbsp. hemp seed
3 Tbsp. hulled millet
4 Tbsp. sesame seed
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
3 Tbsp. quinoa flakes
Set this mixture aside.
Step #2: Combine in a food processor, blend until smooth.
4 organic medjool dates (seeds removed)
3 oz. organic baby applesauce
1 1/2 Tbsp. coconut oil (melted, but not hot)
Step #3: Combine with seed/nut mixture above. Oil a rimmed pan with coconut oil and spread mixture in pan. (Mixture should be sticky & crumbly resembling granola)
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Stir mixture every 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on it so the mixture doesn't burn.
Let cool and let birdie enjoy as a treat!
