Breakfast Recipes and Ideas for Kids

I was looking for some new and healthy recipes for my son, Neil. While I came across many of them, sharing what I tried and liked out of all I found.

Try some of the following healthy different ideas for breakfast for your kids that require very less preparation time, yet appeal to your kids because of their unique appeal.

Cinnamon Biscuits

1 packet flaky biscuits
Castor sugar
1 1/2 tea spoon Cinnamon
3 tbsp melted butter or margarine

Heat oven to 450 degree. Separate biscuits and divide into halves. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Dip each piece into melted butter and then roll in the sugar mixture. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake until golden brown.

Potato Dippy Dip

1 medium-sized sweet potato (raw) peeled and grated
1 egg slightly beaten
1/4th cup flour

Mix ingredients. Heat approximately one tablespoon of oil. Drop spoonfuls into the pan. Cook for about two minutes on each side, until turns golden brown. Serve with applesauce. Children love to dip it in applesauce.

Apple Sauce

5-6 medium size apples
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Wash apples and cut into quarters and place them in a saucepan. Add water and cook them covered until the apples become soft. Put the apple mixture through a sieve. Transfer back the syrup into the saucepan. Add sugar and let the juice simmer. 

Glazed Bananas

1/3rd cup frozen orange juice concentrate
6 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced in 1 inch pieces
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1/2 cup ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped nuts
Chocolate syrup

Heat orange juice. Add banana pieces and cook for three minutes. Add vanilla and cinnamon and stir for another 2 to 3 minutes until the moisture is absorbed. Serve warm. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and top with nuts before serving.

Orange Crispies

3 small oranges
1 tbsp Wheat germ
1 tsp Peanut butter
1 1/2 tbsp honey / sugar syrup

Peel and cut orange pieces into halves. Cook wheat germ in oil until brown. Add peanut butter and stir until melted. Add sugar syrup or honey. Stir until wheat germ gets coated completely. Place it on a small plate and cool the preparation. Sprinkle over orange slices and serve.

Frozen Shake

1 cup milk
1 cup frozen banana chunks
Chocolate syrup

Place all the ingredients in a blender and make it a smooth paste. Add chocolate syrup to taste.

Novel Toasts

You can even make simple toast more healthy and exciting for your kids by preparing the following healthy toppings:

Cinnamon Toast

Make a mixture of two teaspoons of cinnamon and half cup of sugar. Sprinkle over a buttered toast.

Orange Toast

Combine one tablespoon of orange juice, one tablespoon of orange rind and half-cup of sugar, put this on a half-baked toast and return to the oven. It will become a chewy topping.
