Breakfast Favorites

 

Here are a few of Mallory's breakfast favorites. 

Nothing beats freash fruit.  Mallory loves to dip hers in vanilla yogurt.  Add some eggs and breakfast is complete.

Feeling adventerous?  Try this healthy pumpkin banana bread.  I found the recipe on Pinterest and then jazzed it up a little.  Here's what I did.

2 very ripe bananas
1/2-1 cup pumpkin puree
3/4 cup sugar (or less)
2 Tbsp. canola
2 large eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 3/4 cups flour (I used a cup of all-purpose and 3/4 cup of Trader Joe's MultiGrain Baking and Pancake Mix)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt

Spoonful of chia seeds

Spread into a buttered 8”x4” loaf pan and bake at 350 for 50 minutes.

Mallory also like the banana quinoa rice pudding.  It is made with coconut milk.

 

Mallory eats steel cut oats every other week.  One batch will last all week.  I even freeze it on occasion so I can pull it out when I am running short on yummy breakfast ideas.  We use Alton Brown's recipe.  Sometimes I leave out the brown sugar and just add a little Agave.

 

I love summer time and all the fresh fruit. My parent's have several fig trees.  Mallory will eat them whole! Luckily, she also likes cottage cheese.  I just add a little agave and she will eat it up.  Stiring fruit in works as well.
