This is my 4-year old's second favorite breakfast (#1 is pancakes)! Waffles slathered with almond or cashew butter, then generously topped with organic unsweetened applesauce, and a drizzle of pure maple syrup. We like Nature's Path Lifestream line of vegetarian waffles, specifically the Buckwheat Wildberry flavor which is also gluten-free!
She usually has fresh fruit alongside, and a drink of fortified rice milk. This breakfast is definitely substantial and nourishing for your little one, and it is fast to make! Plus, who can resist food on a Dora plate? :)

I love these waffles - what
a fantastic way to serve them-
VERY original!
That sounds like the greatest breakfast of all time. Mmmm. *licks lips*
This is great info! Thanks for posting. I wil have to check out that link. Swing by and check out my new layout as well as give me suggestions on my first attept at veggie burgers (from scratch) - I think it's my 2nd post for today so you'll have to scroll down. On my way over to Mal's place
Have a great afternoon!
Thanks ladies! The applesauce really softens up the toasted waffle, I think that's why my daughter loves it so much. You would have to use a fair amount of maple syrup to do the same thing, and I'd rather not give her all that extra sugar, even if it IS pure maple syrup!
My good friend is turning sixteen tomorrow, so I decided to make your Homestyle Chocolate Chip Cookies. I made some for the entire class because I know my teacher won't mind -- in fact, I think she'll love it!
Aww, that's so kind of you Mal... very thoughtful. I hope you all enjoy them - let me know! :)
Oh, by the way, I regularly make those with barley flour (or spelt), if you want to avoid the wheat.
Unfortunately, our money situation doesn't allow us to buy spelt or barely flour (can't find any bulk or on sale around here, and I don't trust the internet) so I had to use wheat. :-/
Everyone loved the cookies. They couldn't believe they were vegan. Everyone kept asking what was in them. Alex, the friend whose birthday it is, said the cookies made his day and gave me a hug.
My English teacher is very insecure about his weight and makes fun of himself all of the time. We had a funny exchange in the hallway that led me to saving him a cookie. I told him they were vegan after he said they were good.
I wish I would have read this post earlier. I just ate some Buckwheat Wildberry waffles with plain ol' Earth Balance and maple syrup. This sounds so much better. I will have to give it a try tomorrow.
Hi Danielle...
still yummy waffles that way, but I hope you enjoy this different version!
