Eclectus Nutri-Nuggets (substitute for Nutriberries)
  • 1 cup dried fruit (unsulphured)
  • 1/2 cup organic currants or raisins
  • 2 Tablespoons unsweetened coconut shreds
  • 1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal
  • 1/4 cup small seeds and/or crushed nuts
  • 1/4 cup raw organic wheat germ flakes
  • 2 Tablespoons organic almond butter
  • 1 Tablespoon agave nectar or blackstrap molasses

Blend all dry ingredients in a food processor until chopped finely. Place mixture into a bowl and add almond butter and molasses. Mix well; the mix will be sticky. Roll mixture into small 1/2" balls and place on a cookie sheet. Save the fine coconut shreds until last and roll the balls in it, or shake them in a bag of coconut shreds, wheat germ, or almond meal (ground almonds). Bake at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes. Cool and serve. For multiple birds, use four times all the ingredient amounts for about a hundred Nutrinuggets.
