So it's my turn to prepare a "healthy breakfast" for my daughters class! So what does one prepare for a class of 25 three-year olds with different food upbringings?
I figure the simpler the better and that I probably can't go wrong with some homemade cookies.... So I made these today as a practice run and my daughter LOVED them so yep; they passed the test and she is so excited about taking a plateful to her class next week. Thay are super-simple and vegan / gluten-free / nut-free / sugar-free so contemplate all types of allergies. Ingredients: Makes 7 cookies 1 large banana mashed 100g oat flour (if you can't find oat flour just buy oats and put them in the food processor until they become a powder) 1 tablespoon honey 50g raisins 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence Mix all the ingredients together until evenly distributed. Spoon 7 cookies into a non-stick baking tray and cook on medium heat in the oven for 25mins - 30 mins, until lightly browned. They make a fantastic grab and go breakfast if you are rushed for time!

To all those moms who live by bananas and always have that pile of bananas in the kitchen for in between snacks; did you know that you can substitute eggs for bananas in most cake, bread and dessert recipes? If you are like me and constantly run out of eggs or forget to buy them among the millions of other things we have to remember, just add one large banana for every 2 eggs and you are good to bake!
If your kids are anything like mine they love pancake! Why not try out totally natural version made with bananas instead of flour. Delicious and nutritious!
Ingredients (makes 3 large pancakes) 2 large bananas 4 eggs 1 teaspoon chia seeds 1 teaspoon ground coconut 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon Put all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until there are no more pieces of banana. Pour 1/3 of the batch into a large pan over low heat (make sure you spray the pan well with extra virgin olive oil). Once one side is done carefully turn over and finish cooking. Repeat for 2 more pancakes. I like to serve it with some drizzled honey. |
