Baking Directions:
Combine entire bag of mix with 2 whole organic eggs - no shell (remove yolk for less fat), 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) Morning Bird Red Palm Oil or other high quality organic vegetable oil, and 1 cup (235 ml) water. Fill greased bread pan or muffin tins and bake for 25-35 minutes.
Do not bake in nonstick (PTFE-coated) cookware, as the fumes are toxic to birds.
Can be served warm or refrigerated for up to 72 hours and re-heated or served cold.
Some flavorings (vanilla, maple) or herbs can be added as long as they do not change the nutritional content.
Storage and Shelf Life
Because Bird Bread Mix contains not preservatives, some care is recommended for storage.
If the bag is opened, the top can be zipped closed or rolled down and closed with a chip clip for 4-6 weeks.
Bird Bread can be stored for 1 week in the refrigerator and 1 year in the freezer after baking.
Baked Bird Bread can be divided into portions, wrapped in plastic wrap and placed back in the original Harrison’s Bird Foods bag for storage in the freezer.
Bird Bread should not be reheated in a plastic container.
