Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

Cookies are a great way to incorporate healthy foods for your birds. Try adding crushed pellets into the dry mix or adding powdered vitamins.

Ingredients

1/2 cup mashed banana

1/2 cup chunky peanut butter (natural, unsalted, unsweetened is great too!)

1/2 cup honey

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all purpose flour (or try whole wheat!)

1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp baking soda

1 cup raisins

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly coat a cookie sheet with cooking spray. (Silpat mats are an alternative to sprays).

2. In a large bowl stir together: banana, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla. In a small bowl combine: oats, flour, milk powder, cinnamon, and baking soda. Add the mixed dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir until thoroughly mixed and then add raisins.

3. Drop 1 1/2″ dough balls onto the cookie sheet and press lightly to flatten. They don’t expand much, so feel free to try and create the heart shapes!

4. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until browned. Let cool and store in an airtight container or plastic bag for up to 3 days. These can also be frozen for up to 2 months, just thaw before serving.
