I've made these two birdy breads recently. I make my own flour mix in my nutribullet which is a mix of red lentils, almonds, brown rice, quinoa and a bit of whole grain wheat flour.

This one is apple and chilli bread.

And this one is kale, celery and sweet potato. Instead of egg I used a banana and I used kale and mandarin juice as the liquid.

I liked the kale and sweet potato bread, I don't like cooked fruit or spicy foods so I didn't bother to try that one. Calvin actually doesn't get a messy beak from the apple and chilli break. He hasn't tried the kale and sweet potato one though, I'll have to grab a photo tomorrow!

Both breads look a-m-a-z-I-n-g! Would you mind sharing how exactly you made them, how much of each you used? I'd like to try to make those for my gang. :)

The flour recipe I used was 1 cup each of red lentils, brown rice, quinoa and whole meal flour plus a handful of almonds. I ground this in small batches in my nutribullet.
To make the liquid portion for the kale and sweet potato bread I added 3 kale leaves, a mandarin and a banana to my nutribullet with some water and blend it until smooth.

To make the dough, I use two cups of my flour and I slowly add enough of the juice until it reaches the consistency that I want. Then I add in 1.5 cups of diced sweet potato, half a cup of diced celery and 1.5 cups of kale that I've put through my food processor and mix it evenly through.

Just before I add the dough to my baking tin, I add 1 tablespoon of baking soda and mix it through. The baking soda reacts with the acid in the mandari and makes the bread more fluffy and light. You want to add the mixture to the tin very soon after adding the baking soda.

To make the topping I used some muesli I had and I mixed it with honey until it reached the consistency I wanted. I add about a 1.5cm layer on top of the dough.
I cooked it at 170 degrees until it was cooked all the way through.

The apple and chilli bread used the same flour and topping. However I used water to make the dough instead of juice. I mixed in 1 cup of diced apple, 1 cup of chopped birds eye chilli and 1 cup of Calvin's regular chop mix. I didn't add any baking soda to this one so it's more dense and flat than the other bread. For the topping on this one I mixed quinoa, dried coconut and rolled oats with honey and spread it on top of the dough. Same baking procedure as before.

Thanks very much! I would really love to know how it turns out for you :)

Calvin loved his slice this morning as well.

Those look awesome! Seems like an easy recipe to follow. Since I just got my bird, I found so many recipes to try I'll be cooking/baking all summer! Lol This is definitely one I'll try soon. Do you freeze the remainder of the bread to keep it fresh? You said you baked it at 170 degrees. I take it that's in Celsius, right? :) Which would be 338 degrees Fahrenheit.
