Here is an easy recipe that you can throw together with things you probably have in the pantry.
Home Bird Seed Cakes
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup oats
1 1/2 – 2 cups bird seed
Add shortening and peanut butter into a microwave safe bowl. Melt the shortening and peanut butter in the microwave. Add in oats and bird seed. Pour into a container. See Note. Put into freezer and let set up for at least 4 hours.
Note: I used extra soap molds. You can also use an 8 x 8 pan then cut them into squares when ready.
These were quick to make. If you already have bird seed, it’s cheaper than buying the pre-made packages. It is also a fun activity to do with kids. Save yourself a trip to the store and give this a try!
