SWEET POTATO BIRD BALLS



Sweet Potato Bird Balls image

These are an excellent staple to have; when you need a quick treat, just defrost a few of these balls. Aside from softening the sweet potato in the microwave, this recipe does not require you to do any cooking at all. It's a relatively simple recipe you can make that will provide with a big batch of treats that freeze well. The fresh fruits and/or vegetables are especially nutritious for your bird, and the cereal give the balls a pleasant crunch.

  • If the mixture is too wet, add more almond flour or coconut flour until it reaches a dough-like consistency.
  • Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form the snowballs. If the mixture is too sticky, wet your hands with water to prevent sticking.
  • Roll the snowballs in melted coconut butter or ghee, then coat them in your favorite topping. Some popular options include shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
  • Place the snowballs on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze them for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them hold their shape.
