Bright Breakfasts for Dark Mornings!

• Why did the scrambled egg take a nap after the time change?
  Because it lost an hour and was egg-hausted!
• Knock, knock.
  Who’s there?
  Yawn.
  Yawn who?
  ​​​​​​​Yawn know, it’s too early for this… I need pancakes!

Speaking of sleepy mornings, the first Sunday in November is right around the corner. That means it’s time to turn the clocks back. For most of the U.S.—except Hawaii and parts of Arizona—it also means darker mornings and, for many kids, waking up without the sun. But dark mornings don’t have to feel dreary! At Sticky Fingers Cooking®, cooking with kids is our JAM—and we’ve got plenty of cheerful breakfast ideas to brighten the season and energize kids.

Easy Breakfast Recipes for Early Starts

• Banana Dulce de Leche Smoothies - Bananas and brown sugar come together for a sweet, creamy breakfast that’s both filling and flavorful. A yummy callback to summer, even on the coldest of days!​​​​​​​
• Orange Cardamom Chai Cupcakes - Bright citrus and warm spices join forces in these soft, fragrant cupcakes. Each bite is a cozy combo of sweetness and spice. Fun to bake together and a great way to start the day!
• Middle Eastern Shakshuka Poached Eggs - A rainbow of tomatoes, peppers, and onions bubbles into a warm, hearty sauce, with eggs gently poached on top. A colorful skillet to chase away a gloomy morning.
• Yummy Yogurt Parfaits for One - Kids can layer the yogurt, fruit, and granola the night before, then wake up to a protein-packed parfait. Perfectly portioned and easy to take on the go!​​​​​​​
