Recipe: toddler leftovers in my brekkie bowl

October 24, 2015 by Shari

As part of Eat.Drink.Blog 2016, Lumix Australia offered up an awesome little prize for a #mybrekkiebowl instagram competition. Whilst this wasn’t the most awesome instagram shot I’ve ever created – it was a pretty awesome brekkie bowl {containing grated apple, greek yoghurt, maple roasted oats and sultanas}. Not bad seeing as I had made it up using my toddler leftovers.

You see we go through a lot of apples and sultanas around here. Although they can be a hit one week and then a miss the following. Mr Moo is currently going through a phase where he wants to eat the apple whole – rather then me slicing it up {and if you peel the apple there will be tears}. So sometimes he will eat the whole apple and then other times I’m left with a half eaten apple {which isn’t that appealing for a mother to eat – but I hate wastage}.

I thought that I would grate up an apple that had a few bites taken out of it and put it with a half eaten packet of sultanas – waste not, want not!

And if you remember my post from earlier in the year when I made Muesli Bites { …it started out something like this… I was reading VeggieMama the other day and she said ‘For some reason, I’ve found myself drowning in boxes of muesli. Muesli I don’t remember buying, because it’s untoasted, and I’m frightened of untoasted muesli.’ And I thought, ‘OMG – so am I…So why is my cupboard full of the stuff too?’. So I thought that I would whip up some of her delicious simple muesli muffins and then create some special muesli bite treats {okay for toddlers and Mamas alike}.

Well, I also turned some of the oats from the muesli into maple toasted oats and I thought that I would share that recipe with you today.

MAPLE TOASTED OATS

2 cups of oats

1/4 cup of apple juice

2 tablespoons of maple syrup

1 vanilla bean pod, halved and seeds scrapped out

Place all your ingredients in a bowl and toss until the oats are evenly covered. Turn out onto a baking tray, pre-lined with a sheet of baking paper. Bake the oats for 20 minutes at 160 degrees or until nicely toasted. Store in an air tight container for 2 – 3 weeks. Serve with grated apple, greek yoghurt and sultanas.

Toddler leftovers in my brekkie bowl

Are you a cereal person in the morning? What is your ‘go-to’ breakfast most mornings? Do your toddlers take a bite or two of an apple and then place it back in the fruit bowl? If you recreate this recipe, I would like for you to share it on social media and tag #goodfoodweek.

    Stopping over from kidgredients. I tend to just make smoothies with our leftovers and yep I too have many bitten apples around. My two year old loves helping out in the kitchen whilst standing on a ladder, so while I’m slicing and prepping he just helps himself to whatever fruit or veg. By the time I’m done he’s had quite a bit to eat. Yesterday he ate raw broccoli and a cherry tomato. A first!

      Hi Tracey – thanks for stopping by. Smoothies are a great idea to use up leftovers {or the berries that are a little to mushie to eat}. I love eating raw broccoli – call me crazy. I often offer it to the kids to eat.

Family meals for my tribe of 6
Hi guys 👋🏻 I seem to have had a few new foll Hi guys 👋🏻 I seem to have had a few new followers of late. I wonder if you’re here because of my reels?? (And if so, you’ll probably also want to follow @smallbusinessgrowthclub )

If you are new… here is a little intro… I’m Shari - a mum of four small boys (although their little hands seem to be getting better and bigger). They are nine, seven, five and three.

I whip up quick and easy meals for my family. I currently work full time and so the content juggle is real 😩

But the thing is, I actually also have a blog - www.GoodFoodWeek.com.au - so you can drop by there for some of my tried and tested favourites. I’m fact, this Spanish beef is one of the most viewed recipes on the blog!

And if you aren’t new - I’d love to hear what are some of your favourite recipes from my blog.

How does it feel like this was just a moment ago? And yet also a lifetime ago? It’s been 10 years to be precise…

Thanks for being by my side, day in and day out @phillipujdur

I feel like the boys have had an overload of chocolate and I want to take it back to healthier alternatives… 

But in our household, I feel like everyone goes through stages. One week they’ll eat all the bananas in one day, so the following week I’ll order 3kgs instead of 1kg and no one will eat banana 🤦🏼‍♀️

I mean, I freeze them for smoothies or make banana bread so they don’t go to waste. 

But I’m keen to hear what snacks are popular in your household at the moment?

I’ve been reading a lot about self love of late. I feel like there is so much self sacrifice when you’re a mother, and yet I am starting to realise that I need to love myself first to be a better mum and partner.

So here is to starting with something small for me. These @byronbaycookies are the business!!

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
