Strawberry Cream Pinwheels

Rainbow Yogurt

Yogurt is a great choice for creating different toddler breakfast recipes. To make it more interesting and colorful, add your little one’s favorite fruits. Alternate layers of yogurt with all kinds of fruit, such as berries, bananas, peaches, mangoes, etc. You can also add granola bars or cereals for a crunchy taste. Creating this colorful and crunchy breakfast is sure to lure any kid.

Egg in the Window

If you want a more traditional breakfast for your kid, then all you have to do is to be a little creative with breakfast egg recipes for toddlers. For example, cut a hole in a slice of the bread with a cookie cutter (in any interesting shape). Next, spread butter or margarine on both sides of the bread . Then, put the egg into the hole in the bread and cook till the bread is browned and the egg is cooked. This will definitely delight and interest any toddler!

Cup Breakfast

On the days your toddler refuses to eat breakfast, convince him to “drink a colorful new drink”. A fruit and yogurt smoothie recipe is easy to make, practical, and nutritious. Use bananas, strawberries, blueberries, or any other fruit with low-fat yogurt and milk. Just toss it all in the blender, and it’s all ready. You can put in colorful umbrellas (make sure the umbrella does not have a pointed edge) to lure your toddler.

Pancakes with Chocolate Chips

Saying chocolate is enough to get your toddler to pay attention to his breakfast. Since pancakes contain milk and eggs, they are already rich in calcium and to make pancakes more healthy; add fruits and even nuts along with the chocolate chips. Also you can use cookie cutters to make pancakes in different shapes.
