Fruit Sneaker

A great way to sneak in an extra serving of fruit a day is to put pureed fruit on pancakes, or even waffles in the morning. I would suggest whole wheat, or other whole grain choice for the bread item, however, even adding just the fruit to your white pancakes or waffles it a great replacement to your syrup. 
Not only do you get in a serving of fruit you cut out extra sugar that you add from your syrup. There is a wide varieties of fruit that make your pancakes OVER the top for your children.

Apples
Blueberries
Pineapple
Strawberries
are our favorites.

Take fruit and peel off the rinds and clean. Place in a sauce pan with 1/4 cup of water, let simmer until soft. Take a potato masher and mash the fruit to bring some more juices out. Serve over warm pancakes.
Another option for the apples is to first make applesauce the night before and serve that over the pancakes or waffles.

This is also a great special treat before bedtime.
Additional ideas: Add plain yogurt with your fruit, sprinkle cinnamon on top of fruit, need a crunch? mix in granola to your fruit before applying to pancakes, or try some peanut butter on your pancake or waffle first followed by your fruit.

Let me know if your little ones like this version of their morning favorites.
