Sweet Potato Muffins [birdie bread]
In the USA, sweet potatoes are often miss labeled. For parrots and yourself, you want to use sweet potatoes that have orange flesh.
- Ingredients:
- 3 cups: of cooked, mashed sweet potato plus (including) one Banana mashed
- 2 cups: flour (I did a combination of 1/2 rice flour, 1/2 Rye flour, 1 cup all-purpose, unbleached wheat. You can use any combo or just one)
- 2 tsp: cinnamon ( Ceylon )
- 1 tsp: baking soda
- 1/4 tsp: baking powder
- 3/4 cup: apple sauce
- 3 large eggs (with shells) Or 3 Tablespoons of Flaxseed meal mixed with 6 TBLS water. Let it sit for 10 minutes until thick
- 1 tsp: vanilla
- 1 Tbls: fax seeds and/or chia seeds
You may also add nuts if you prefer. I didn't for my batch.
Directions:
In a large bowl combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, apple sauce, eggs, and vanilla. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and then add the sweet potato/banana mash. Add your seeds and or nuts if you're using themPour into muffin tins/cups. Bake at 350 for approximately 30 minutes.
