Peanut Butter and Banana Waffles

Tandy Cake Waffle Recipe by The Springmount 6Pack

Make waffles the night before and freeze them, or use frozen waffles. Heat them for 3 minutes in the toaster, and then smear peanut butter on them. Just one tablespoon of peanut butter counts as a serving of protein, and studies have shown that people who eat protein for breakfast have lower weights and better health. They also have better digestive health. Top that with 2 teaspoons of raisins and half a sliced banana. Serve it with hot coffee or warmed milk for a breakfast that’s healthy, filling, and so easy to make. Check out this great recipe for peanut butter and chocolate chip waffles from The Springmount 6Pack.

Maple and Fruit Oatmeal

Many places are getting paid money for this filling breakfast, but you can save some by making it at home. All you need to do is heat up instant oats, plain, and top them with 1 teaspoon of butter, 2 teaspoons of maple syrup, 2 teaspoons of cranberries, and ¼ of a sliced apple. For extra crunch, toss in a few almonds, stir well, and enjoy! It’s really that simple to make and it fills you up until your next meal. You will get one serving of fruit and one serving of grains with this meal.

Easy Veggie Breakfast Burrito Recipe

A simple, no fuss veggie breakfast burrito

Prep time 5 minutes 

Cook time 10 minutes

Serves 1

Ingredients

• 1 tsp butter
• 1 flour tortilla
• 1/8 cut freshly grated cheddar cheese
• 8 tbsp diced veggies (tomatoes, peppers, onions, or anything you like)

Directions

1. Heat 1 teaspoon of butter in a frying pan.
2. Place tomatoes (or any other veggies you enjoy) on the tortilla and freshly grated American cheese on top of that.
3. Roll it up and place it with the open flap down, cook over medium heat for three minutes, then roll to the other side and do the same.

Notes

This is great served with diced and cooked potatoes. You can make those the night before by dicing one red potato and baking it for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Refrigerate after it cools. In the morning, toss it in the frying pan with Italian seasonings and 2 teaspoons of olive oil and serve alongside your tortilla.
