Small Batch Bark Butter Recipe

Step 1

Combine the oats, cornmeal, and flour in a mixing bowl. Add the peanut butter on top of the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Melt the lard in a microwave safe container. (I use my glass measuring cup). This should take about 30 to 45 seconds. I usually stop microwaving before it's totally melted and just stir it to melt the last remaining bits.

Step 3

Pour the melted lard over the ingredients in the mixing bowl and stir to combine everything together.

Step 4

Spread a little bit of the mixture into the holes in a log feeder for birds, or you can spread some directly onto a tree branch.

Step 5

Store any remaining mixture in a covered container for later use.
