BREAKFAST In Disguise

Recipe & Photo by Jamie Alexander

Some people, like me, can eat breakfast for every meal. It’s typically pretty easy to make, and you can combine sweet and savory treats all into one dish! There’s nothing better. These breakfast foods are disguised as dinner to make things a bit more fun. They are also perfect for little helpers to make alongside an adult! Each of these dishes are customizable to fit each particular taste, and take almost no time to create! Don’t forget, Mother’s Day is approaching fast - why not treat mom to some of these recipes to start her day with breakfast-in-bed (or dinner-in-bed)?

BANANA SUSHI

INSTRUCTIONS

›› Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour out your toppings for each banana in little piles (so you can easily “roll” the banana in each). ›› Peel a banana and cover it with spread using a knife. Once it’s coated, roll it in your desired topping. Repeat with as many bananas you’d like for lots of variation! ›› Set the bananas in the fridge to set for 30min before serving.
