Birdie Bread - Nalani Toys

Do you suffer with feelings of inadequacy because you aren't baking your feather loved one special treats? Do you wish you could, but don't have enough time? Are you all thumbs in the kitchen and your most accomplished recipe is a hard boiled egg? Maybe you're having trouble finding a recipe that doesn't include a prepackaged muffin mix loaded with chemicals, sugar and sodium? Could it be you never have the right ingredients on hand when you actually have time to make something?

Grammie's Goodies has now made it possible for you to make wholesome muffin treats in less than 15 minutes! Almost everything you need comes in one package: Stone ground corn meal, organic stir-ins and muffin liner papers. All you need to do is add one egg and a 1/2 cup of milk or soymilk and have a bowl, spoon, cookie sheet and an oven available.

My husband agreed to bake this batch for our guys while I took the pictures. We made the Yummy Tummy Fruit Muffins for this photo session and added an organic egg and 1/2 cup of organic vanilla soymilk. From unpacking the bag to serving the muffins, it took just under 15 minutes. Each muffin is about a serving size for the average parrot and our cockatiel got a 1/2. Our guys were thrilled to have special snacks baked for them by "daddy" and they just loved them, as you can see from the photos above.

Each packages yields about 30-35 muffins which can be refrigerated or frozen. All stir-ins come individually packaged so if there is something in the muffin mix that you don't want to use, you don't have to. You can also add your own stir-ins like chopped nuts.
