Re: Homemade Bird Snacks
Mummy Sticks
You will need sticks for inserting. Sesame seeds to roll in. Raisins, blueberries, cranberries or nut pieces for the eyes.
8 tbsp. sunflower oil
1/2 C molasses
2 eggs
3 large ripe bananas (mashed)
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 C raisins or cranberries
1 C whole wheat flour
1 C all purpose flour or 3/4 C oat flour (just put some oats in the food processor)
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt (may be omitted)
1/2 C chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds)
non stick spray
Mix first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Add rest of ingredients. Lightly spray cookie sheet and your hands with non stick spray. Scoop up some batter and roll into elongated pieces. Roll in the sesame seeds and insert the sticks. Place on cookie sheet. Add your eyes, pressing them into the batter so they will not pop out while baking. If using blueberries for eyes, they will bleed while baking.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes until browned on the bottom. Cool and serve!
