Morning is often the busiest time of the day, and breakfast is the day’s most important meal.
So how can busy moms—or dads—prepare healthy breakfasts for their toddlers while rushing to get to work?
Here are a few great breakfasts that take only a few minutes to prepare, and your toddlers will love to eat!
Instant Oatmeal
Pour some oatmeal into baby’s bowl, add hot milk and a little sugar, even instant cocoa if your baby likes chocolate. Add a little cold water to cool. Top with sliced bananas. Serve with a glass of orange juice.
Cereal
Some kids don’t like cereal with milk. If that’s the case, you can serve it without milk, as a finger food. Many kids like cereals with fun shapes, or those flavored with chocolate or honey. Add prunes in the bowl for fruit. You can serve the milk in a cup, as his drink. Flavored milk is also a good option.
Sliced Toast and Cheese
Of course, cheese sandwich is also a good option. But if your toddler prefers finger food, you can slice the toast and the cheese into bite-size slices and pile them topsy-turvy into his bowl. Fruit juice goes well with this.
Scrambled Eggs
Eggs are terrific, healthy food for toddlers. Scramble an egg, do not add salt, pour into the frying pan and put a cover. Prepare his juice. Take the cover off the pan. The egg should look like a pancake by now. If the top is still runny, flip it over and wait 3 seconds. Slice into bite-size bits. If your baby likes ketchup, put some on the egg. Make sure the egg is cool before you serve it with juice. Better serve with a fork or spoon, as this can be rather oily on his hands.
Pancakes
It’s best to prepare the pancake mix the night before. Use as much milk as you can in making the mix. You can also add grated cheese into the batter. Next morning, it would be a simple matter of frying a pancake as big as your child’s appetite and letting it cool. Cut into bite size pieces and serve with juice.
