Breakfast Dog
This is a super good, super easy recipe that works well for daycare kids regardless of age and also works well for kids who need to eat before taking off to school.
Spread a thin layer of peanut and jam onto the hotdog bun. Place a quartered banana into the bun. Cut into appropriate sections for each child.
For smaller children, cut off a small section and squish it down to make for easier handling.
Pumpkin Bread
One of the little boys in my daycare kept begging me to make pumpkin bread. When I finally did, it was a big hit with all the kids!
|
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare two bread pans by spraying with cooking spray.
Put all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well with an electric mixer. Divide the batter between the two prepared bread pans. Bake for one hour or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
My kids liked this bread better after it was cooled rather than warm out of the oven.
Banana Carrot Muffins
|
The kids were a little leery trying these muffins for me when they saw me put carrots in them. It didn't matter, though. They were a big hit with every single kid at breakfast that morning. I do have to warn you though, it takes a lot of dishes to make this recipe. |
|
|
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the seven dry ingredients in the left-hand column in a bowl. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the egg yolks until they are light in color. Beat in the honey and orange peel. Gently stir in the bananas, carrots and applesauce. Gently stir this mixture into the dry ingredients, just until moist.
In another bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff. Gently stir this mixture until your batter, a little at a time.
Fill muffin cups two-thirds full with batter. Bake for 17 - 19 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool.

In my daycare, we enjoy smoothies for breakfast or for snack. There are so many different ingredients you can put in to make them taste yummy, but this is one of our favorite combinations.

Not-so-Quick Quick Bread
I call this "not so quick" because after you bake it, you have to leave it sit overnight before slicing and eating it. It's worth it though!
|
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x5 bread pan with butter.
Mix the 1/3 cup white sugar with 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. In a separate bowl, combine the egg, milk and oil. Add the two mixtures together and stir just until moistened.
Pour 1/3 of the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Repeat this process two more times.
Bake in the oven for 45 - 50 minutes. Test with a toothpick to check if it's done. Let cool for 10 minutes and then remove bread from pan. Let cool completely. Then wrap in foil and store overnight.
