So, we’re firmly in our new routine these days. Pre-school three mornings a week for Emmett, which he officially now loves! The end goal is to give me and the new babe a couple of hours, a few times a week to bond one on one (or, you know, nap together).
There’s so much about the preschool transition that I love: Em learning new things, exploring his independence, and meeting new friends! But there are a couple of not-so-fun bits we’ve also been working through.
Our mornings are now definitely more chaotic (we typically have to wake Em up to get him out the door in time), and we’ve increased the sickness/germs in our house by like 100%.
So, we’ve been focused on trying to find easy and delicious breakfast options that Em loves, and that also pack a great nutrition punch to help ward off the germs coming his way at school!
If you’ve been following us for a while, and following along on Instagram, you’ll know that we’re massive Baby Gourmet fans. Their cereal was one of Em’s first foods, and we still use their purees and pouches to this day for tasty meals and snacks.
Well lucky for us, they also have a whole host of amazing and nutritious recipes that kiddos will love posted on their site, and the Banana Ancient Grains Pancake Bites have officially become a staple in our house. They’re basically yummy banana slices wrapped in whole grain pancake goodness, cooked up into bite-sized pieces perfect for small hands!
We whip the dry ingredients together the night before (including hearty goodness like Baby Gourmet’s Ancient Grains Cereal and Whole Wheat Flour), and then it takes about two mins to mix in the wet ingredients, slice up the banana and drop them into in the pan! A hearty warm breakfast in a few seconds.
If you’re looking for a nutrition packed, delicious and EASY morning meals that kiddos of any age will love – this one’s for you!!!
