Greywings Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) Sweet Potato French Toast - feeds a flock 1 large ruby yam or sweet potato, fully mashed 18 medium eggs, or 14 large eggs 1/2 cup apple juice 1/2 cup cranberry juice you can substitute Coconut juice also 1/2 cup water 1/2 tsp. cinnamon Juices should be unsweetened and organic if possible 1 - 1.5 loaves multi-grain bread small amount of butter or margarine or Coconut oil (or non-stick pan spray) Mix all ingredients, except the margarine or butter, in a large bowl, with either a whisk or electric mixer, to form a batter Dip the slices of bread in the batter and fry both sides till golden brown on an evenly heated (medium heat) griddle pan, onto which you have spread a small amount of the butter, margarine or pan spray. I prefer butter, which is more predictable on a griddle pan. Any excess batter may be used to make sweet potato pancakes, also well received by birds. Serve to birds cut into eights or sixteenths of a slice, depending on the size of the birds, two points per bird. Leftovers may be frozen in whole slices and defrosted and heated in the microwave. Try it on your family, too. Just about guaranteed to please! Edited April 21, 2011 by Greywings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayd Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) I'm very sorry to say this, Nutmeg is very toxic to our birds...Instead of butter or margarine,you can use "Canola" oil which is similar to the property's of palm oil......Please use natural apple juice/cranberry juice with no added sugar, sweet potatoes are very high in sugar by themselves...Sorry.... http://www.mdvaden.com/bird_page.shtml http://www.birdsnways.com/articles/plntstox.htm http://www.cockatielcottage.net/tablefoods.html Edited April 20, 2011 by Jayd added http/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 You are right Jayd never thought to include that info as that is what I use as juice. Forgot about the Nutmeg but have seen many people use it when cooking for their birds maybe like the Cinnamon there is more than one kind of Nutmeg? Coconut oil if cold pressed would be one of the safe choices for cooking for our flocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Oh goodness that sounds delicious. When I cook for my birds, I usually crumble the eggshells into the mix, but golly, I think I will leave that out and eat these with my family too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayd Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Always love to hear from you,yes, I like the coconut oil to. I just stay away from the nutmeg, better to err on the safe side, leaves more nutmeg for me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
