More Mother's Day Breakfast Recipes
If you would like to prepare an extra special Mother's Day brunch or breakfast, blintzes fit the bill.
Cheese and Fruit Filled Blintzes are almost paper thin pancakes, rolled and filled with either honey and raisin sweetened cheese or fruit filling. While blintzes are traditionally fried, this recipe calls for baking blintzes until crispy, maintaining the integrity of healthy oils and saving time. Blintzes have been a tradition in my family for several generations. Try this recipe and begin a Mother's Day tradition in your own family.
Vegan Blintzes are wheat free and taste very much like the traditional breakfast treat. The blintze pancake, which is made of spelt, can be made remarkably thin. The mock cheese filling, made with tofu, is also sweetened with raisins and honey. Of course you can also make the vegan version with fruit fillings instead.
Date Coffee cake is also a wheat free recipe using a blend of quinoa and spelt flours to enhance the flavor. The cake batter is lightly sweetened and then loaded with date pieces. I use dates and pecans, spiced with cinnamon, for a crunchy, yet chewy, streusel topping.
Date Nut Bread
is a nutritious variation of the classic. Lots of dates and walnuts are honey sweetened and flavored with cinnamon and orange. Try this bread plain or toasted and spread with Neufchatel cream cheese.
There are so many good granola cereals on the market, you may wonder why bother making your own. When you read the labels, you may find that these granolas contain too much oil and sweeteners for good nutritional standards. This is probably true even if healthy oils and sweeteners are used. Another reason to make your own is that 100% organic granola is not widely available. Though Whole Foods makes a very nutritious, very delicious organic granola, it is also very expensive and still not as tasty as home made. When making granola at home, you can add more or less of any nut, fruit, seed or grain according to your family's personal taste. Finally, I haven't found any packaged granola that is as crisp or delicious as home made, and it is really quite easy to make.
Vanilla Nut Granola is honey sweetened with lots of vanilla. In addition to oats and other grains it is made with a plethora of different nuts and seeds. The granola is very crunchy with delightful rice crisps. You decide which, if any, dried fruit you add making this a great recipe for the entire family. I have served this granola to many fussy eaters, adults and children alike, and they all loved it.
Happy Breakfasts!
