Easy Pancakes Video ~ Cook with your Tiny Chef!

4/17/2018

The Tiny Chef in this video is 4-years-old and has been preparing food since he was 18 months old. He loves to eat the food he makes! For more ideas and recipes preschoolers love, check out the Tiny Chef recipe book.

These pancakes are refined sugar-free and gluten-free. You can make them with just 2 ingredients (eggs & bananas) or add a few extras (oats for texture & cinnamon for flavor). Sprinkling blueberries or chocolate chips on top is extra fun for the kiddos! Using coconut oil on the pan and covering them on the first side makes the pancakes easy to flip.

Steel-Cut Oatmeal with Raisins

4/6/2017

5 Comments

We made some quick and easy oatmeal in our Instant Pot pressure cooker (affiliate link) and my 3-year-old LOVES IT! It stores well in the fridge and is hearty enough to keep you full for a few hours.

1 cup of steel-cut oats
2 cups water
1 cup coconut milk (any variety of milk will work)
pinch of salt
handful (1/4 cup) of golden raisins
maple syrup & other toppings to taste

Mix all of the ingredients (except the toppings) together in the Instant Pot. Secure the lid and cook on Manual for 4 minutes (10 minutes natural pressure release). Add toppings and enjoy!

Kid Tips!

pour the (pre-measured) oatmeal and liquid into the pot
pinch the salt out of your hand or a container and sprinkle it into the pot
pour or scoop in the raisins
stir the ingredients together (before cooking)
scoop the leftovers into a serving bowl (see video below!)

Vegan! Gluten-free! Sugar-free!

Makes 12 muffins.

4 ripe bananas
2 cups oats, ground into flour (in the food processor)
1/2 cup coconut oil (or 1/4 cup apple sauce & 1/4 cup oil)
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tbsp ground flax seeds (or 1 tbsp flax & 1 egg)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
a little bit of maple syrup, honey, or stevia (optional)
1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)

Grind oats in the food processor. Dump the oat flour into a bowl, then process bananas until smooth. Mix the oil into the oat flour with a fork. Add all of the ingredients together and mix until combined. Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips if desired.

Line muffin tin with 12 muffin liners. Fill with the batter (these will appear pretty full since there's no egg in the recipe to make the muffins rise).

Bake at 350 degrees (F) for 22-25 minutes (until golden brown).

Kid Tips!

Ask kids to:

peel all of the bananas,
stir,
add dashes of cinnamon from the bottle,
put liners in muffin tin,
top the muffins with toppings (for example, 3 chocolate chips per muffin).
