3 Breakfast Recipes

Here are the three best breakfasts that I have made in the past week and will continue to eat in the coming days because they are so good.

1. Peanut Butter Wraps

smooth peanut butter 2 tbsp (or enough to cover tortilla)
whole wheat tortilla
banana, sliced
liquid honey

Spread peanut butter evenly on tortilla, leaving 1 inch edge.
Arrange banana slices, overlapping, down centre of peanut butter. Drizzle with honey. Fold in sides. Roll up from bottom to enclose bananas securely. Broil on cookie sheet for 3 minutes to melt peanut butter and blend flavors. ( I usually just turn the oven to broil and stick the wrap in right away for 3 minutes).


2. Fruit-filled French Toast Wraps
servings : 2

1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 whole wheat tortillas
2/3 cup berries of any kind
1 6 oz. carton of vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup granola

In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg, milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Dip both sides of tortillas in egg mixture. In a nonstick skillet, cook tortillas over medium-high heat for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

In a small bowl, combine the berries, yogurt and granola. Spoon down the center of tortillas. Roll up and serve.

(I just bought a fruit and yogurt parfait from Tim Horton's and added granola for the filling in these really filling french toast wraps. Tastes just like French Toast!)



3. Healthy Oatmeal
( I've never been big on hot breakfast cereals, but since I can't really do milk anymore, I decided to try it. So much to my dad's dismay because oatmeal is HIS breakfast thing, I love it and now he has to share)

2/3 cup quick cooking oats
3/4 cup water
1 tbsp cinnamon
squirt of honey
1 cup blueberries
1/4 cup almonds

Add oats to water and microwave for 1.5 minutes. Add cinnamon, honey, blueberries, and almonds. Mix together and enjoy.

(I am going to try raspberries tomorrow. I think that it will make it sweeter cuz raspberries have some tart taste to them!)

Later days!!
